3 Breasts, 2 smoked ,1 no Thanks, with White Wine Sauce and Pasta
I know I just did bacon wrapped Breasts couple weeks ago. and they were good.
This time with a reminder from Jake
TNJAKE
. I brined all 3 with pickle juice , injected a lot then in bag for 4 hours in the fridge. And I'm glad I did . I used B+B juice as not a big fan of dill pickles.
I dried off the chicken and very light coat of Lemon Pepper all over
They stayed moist even though they were not wrapped at all. Smoked with hickory at 230 deg. for 1 hour to IT of 162 deg.. Pulled and tented for a bit to wait their turn in the white wine sauce.
Now I mentioned that Somebody ( MONA ) said she is not a big fan of the smoke on every meal....I guess she will go hungry.. lol Kidding incase she reads this.
This is ok because the recipe calls for the chicken breast to be floured and fried in olive oil and butter than the sauce made in the pan. So a win win for both of us.
I get the flavor I need in the sauce and she gets no smoke on her breast.....well that came out wrong.
So fry/cook the breast 4 minutes on each side till almost done around 160deg. set aside . I wanted onions so in the pan to cook first than add the sauce ingredients . I wanted extra sauce because there is pasta for my meal that was not part of the recipe, so I doubled it all. Added the butter, SPG dry white wine, chicken broth,1/2 tea of Italian seasoning and than the heavy cream ( I used whipping cream Highest BF 35% I could find ) and chicken in the pan for another 5 minutes or so . Now chicken is at right temp.
Mona likes mushroom's so I fried them up separate for her , than on top of her plate
Mona's for a swim first to bring hers up to IT temp, Than mine jumped in after hers.
So in another pot I boiled up the Fettuccine noodles and I wanted some better color on them so I added 1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric to the water with 2 tablespoon of salt.
Good taste and no you do not taste the Turmeric at all. Just for the yellow color. I thought I had a shot of the pot, but here is the noodles as I dipped out for each plate
I also had a Sweet Kale salad with Poppy seed dressing. Yes store bought salad as my garden is still frozen underground.
Now the plates , first the none smoker person's
Than the right one , lol. I'm going to hell by her hand for sure.
The sauce was fantastic, the chicken was very moist, and glad I made extra sauce for all the noodles
Thanks for hanging to the end
