Cut chicken into 1/4" wide slices. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet. Saute the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and keep warm. Deglaze the pan with the champagne. Add the cream to the pan. Add the tarragon and reduce the sauce for two minutes. Put the chicken back into the pan and bring just to a simmer. Remove to serving platter. Serve hot with fresh vegetables or over rice or pasta. (I serve this over fettucini, or with a side dish of Fettucini Alfredo). *** Cut chicken breasts in half only. Place each half between sheets of waxed paper and pound with a meat tenderizer until about 1/8" thick. Saute shallots in butter until tender. Divide shallots equally between the breast halves, spreading evenly over each. Place one slice of prosciutto on each breast half, fold in half, and secure with toothpicks. Saute about 4 to 5 minutes on each side in the butter and olive oil listed in the original ingredients. Chicken is done when it springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Follow the balance of the instructions listed above for the sauce. Source: The original recipe came from "The Martha Culbertson Cook Booklet" published by Culbertson Winery.

For example, if the recipe calls for 1 cup Rich Stock, start it with at least 2 cups of strained basic stock. dark meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Directions: Place in the hot water, oil and salt in a large pot over high heat; and cover and bring to a boil. When water reaches a rolling boil, add small amounts of spaghetti at a time to the pot, breaking up oil patches as you drop the spaghetti in. Return to boiling and cook to al dente stage, do not over cook.(To test doneness of spaghetti, cut a strand in half near the end of cooking time. When done, there should be only a speck of white in the center, less than one-fourth the diameter of the strand.) Do not overcook. During this cooking time, use a wooden or spaghetti spoon to lift spaghetti out of the water by spoonfuls and shake strands back into the boiling water. (It may be an old wives' tale, but this procedure seems to enhance the spaghetti's texture.) Then immediately drain spaghetti into a collander; stop cooking process by running cold water over strands. (If you used dry spaghetti, first rinse with hot water to wash off starch.) After the pasta has cooled thoroughly, about 2 to 3 minutes, pour a liberal amount of vegetable oil in your hands and toss spaghetti. Set aside still in the colander. Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 1-1/2 sticks of the butter, the onions and garlic cloves; saute over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and seasoning mix; continue cooking over medium heat until onions are dark brown, but not burned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Add 2-1/2 cups of the stock, the Worcestershire and Tabasco; bring to a fast simmer and cook about 8 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring mixture to a boil. Then stir in the sugar and 1 cup of the green onions; gently simmer uncovered about 40 nminutes, stirring occasionally. Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Combine the ingredients of the chicken seasoning mix in a small bowl; mix well. Sprinkle over the chicken, rubbing it in with your hands. In a large skillet melt 1-1/2 sticks of the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 cup green onions and saute over high heat about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring frequently. When the tomato sauce has simmered about 40 minutes, stir in the chicken mixture and heat through. To finish the dish, for each serving melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one-sixth of the cooked spaghetti (a bit less than a 2 cup measure); heat spaghetti 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 1-1/4 cups chicken and sauce and 2 tablespoons of remaining stock; heat throughly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Roll spaghetti on a large fork and lift onto a heated serving plate. Repeat process for remaining servings.

Split and butterfly the chicken by cutting down the backbone and opening the chicken leaving the breast attached. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Mix together the garlic, peppers, and paprika, and add to the melted butter. Pour over chicken. If possible, let the chicken sit overnight, uncovered, in the refrigerator. Prepare the grill. Place the chicken, breast side up, on the grill. Cover the grill and cook chicken for 50 minutes or until done. Don't turn. If the skin is not crispy, place the chicken under the broiler to crisp the skin and brown, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) Database -------------- Title: Blackened Chicken Categories: Creole Chicken Servings: 8 16 ea 3 oz skinless chicken breast -------------------------------SEASONING MIX------------------------------- 2 T Salt 1 1/2 t Garlic powder 1 1/2 t Ground black pepper 1 t White pepper 1 t Onion powder 1 t Ground cumin 1/2 t Gound cayenne pepper 1/2 t Sweet paprika -----------------------------OTHER INGREDIENTS----------------------------- 3/4 lb Melted unsalted butter NOTE: Recipe calls for 16 (3-ounce) skinless boned chicken breasts, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, or 8 (10-ounce) bone-in leg-thigh pieces, or a combination of these. Skin the leg-thigh pieces, then bone each piece along the length of the two bones, leaving meat in one piece. Trim off excess fat. Pound each breast or leg-thigh fillet to 1/2 inch thick. Let the chicken come to room temperature before blackening. Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is extremely hot and just short of the point at which you see white ash or a white spot forming in the skillet bottom, about 8 minutes. (the time will vary according to the intensity of the heat source.) Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Just before cooking each piece of chicken, dip it in the melted butter so that both sides are well coated, then sprinkle each fillet evenly with the seasoning mix, using about a rounded 1/2 teaspoon on each, and patting it in with your hands. (If you lay the fillet on a plate or other surface to season it, be sure the surface is warm so the butter won't congeal and stick to the surface instead of to the meat. Wipe the surface clean after seasoning each fillet. Use any remaining seasoning mix in another recipe.) Immediately place the fillet skinned side down in the hot skillet, making sure all meat folds are opened up and the meat is lying flat. Pour about 1 teaspoon butter on the top of the fillet (be careful, as the butter may flame up). If you cook more that 1 fillet at a time, place each fillet in the skillet before buttering and seasoning another one. Cook uncovered over the same high heat until the underside forms a crust, about 2 minutes. (The time will vary according to the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the skillet or fire; watch the meat and you'll see a white line coming up the side as it cooks.) Turn the fillets over and pour about 1 teaspoon more melted butter on top of each. Cook just until meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Serve the chicken fillets crustier side up while piping hot. Clean the skillet after cooking each batch and repeat the blackening procedure with the remaining chicken fillets. To serve, place 2 breast fillets or 1 leg-thigh fillet on each heated serving plate. If you use a large serving platter, do not stack the fillets. Paul Prudhomme warns, "Blackening should be done either outdoors or in a commercial kitchen. The process creates an incredible amount of smoke that will set off your own and your neighbors' smoke alarms. People with really well-installed commercial hood vents at home have gotten away with blackening in their own kitchens. They are privileged! Don't push your luck."
