Crisped Poached Chicken with Spring Herb Sauce

Italians love to eat boiled meats and poultry, while North Americans generally prefer roasted and crispy. Here we have combined the beautiful moist texture and delicate flavour of the poached chicken with a crisping in a hot oven.

Ingredients

2 poached chickens
Spring Herb Sauce:
1-1/4 cups  (300 mL)  chicken broth
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  lemon juice
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  salt
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  cornstarch
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  each minced  basil, parsley and chives
1 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation

If you have refrigerated the chickens, bring them fully to room temperature, about 2 hours.

Roast chicken on rack in centre of 475F (240C) oven for 20 minutes or 450F (230C) convection oven for 15 minutes.

Spring Herb Sauce: In medium saucepan, bring broth to simmer.

Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together yolks, lemon juice, salt and cornstarch. Whisk in ¼ cup (60 mL) broth; repeat.

Whisk yolk mixture into saucepan. Increase heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly and without boiling, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in basil, parsley, chives and garlic. Serve with chicken.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
