CHICKEN TAGATELLI RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, Chop the rashers into small squares, slice the mushrooms.
• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, add the chicken and stir fry for a few minutes until the chicken is cooked. Add the mushrooms, onion and the oregano. Pour the chicken stock and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced.
• Meanwhile cook the tagliatelle according to instructions on the pack. When the chicken stock is reduced, lower the heat and add the cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring until thickened. Add the tagliatelle to the pan.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• When serving, add parmesan to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add the carrot, onion and celery to the casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato and cook until it breaks down and is lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the Madeira and cook until evaporated, then add the chicken stock, garlic and peppercorns. Return the chicken to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in the oven for 1 hour, until the chicken is tender.
• Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool. Shred the meat; discard the bones. Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl, pressing on the solids. Return the liquid to the casserole and bring to a boil. Simmer briskly until thickened to a saucy consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the butter, shredded chicken and figs and cook just to warm through.
• Meanwhile, in a pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta and reserved pasta water to the casserole and toss. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmigiano and tarragon. Serve in bowls topped with the almonds and Manchego shavings.
