Chicken and Chicken Dressing Recipes
Truss a small broiler in shape and lay in casserole.
Brush it generously with melted butter, put on the cover, and cook
twenty minutes. Now add one cup of rich stock or beef extract dissolved
in hot water to make a good strength. Cover and finish cooking. Serve
uncovered in the same dish with spoonfuls of potato balls, small carrots
sliced and tiny string beans laid alternately round the chicken. The
vegetables should each be cooked separately.

CHICKEN VERONIQUE
Any recipe with the name Veronique will have grapes in it. When buying grapes at the supermarket, you can tell how fresh they are by how green and pliable the stem is. Another way of telling is to give the bunch a quick shake. If it's fresh, none of the individual grapes should fall from the bunch. I should warn you, though, that shaking the bunch will not do anything for your popularity with the store's produce manager.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or 1 thin sliced boneless roaster breast
1/2 lemon
Ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted margarine
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
Remove and discard any visible fat. Butterfly breast halves to make scaloppine. Skip the previous step if you are using thin sliced boneless roaster breasts. Rub with lemon and sprinkle lightly with pepper. In large skillet over medium heat, melt margarine. Add scaloppine, in batches if necessary, so that they do not touch. Saute 4 minutes, turning once, until chicken is lightly browned on both sides and just cooked through. Remove from skillet; keep warm.
In small bowl, stir together cornstarch, broth and wine until smooth; add to skillet. Over medium heat, bring to boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in grapes until heated through. To serve, spoon grapes and sauce over chicken.

OVEN-BRAISED ROASTER BREAST WITH VEGETABLES
Making this dish the day before has a couple of advantages. Any fat will rise to the top where it's easy to remove and also the wine and herbs "marry" with the other flavors.
1 whole roaster breast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 small white onions (about 1/2 pound)
1-1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup dry white wine

Remove and set aside. Add onions, cook 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Remove onions; pour off excess fat. Return roaster breast to Dutch oven. Add broth, wine, tarragon and pepper; bring to a boil. Add potatoes; cover and bake 30 minutes. Add onions and carrots; cover. Bake 30 minutes longer or until roaster breast and vegetables are almost tender. Add broccoli; cover. Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until roaster breast is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 can (8-ounces) minced clams, drained
2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
Halve hens lengthwise and remove backbones. Place 1 half on each of four 14-inch squares of heavy duty aluminum foil. Turn up edges of foil.
In bowl, blend oil, basil, parsley, cheese, garlic and salt. Add clams and wine. Divide among packets, spooning over hens. Bring two opposite sides of foil together and close packets securely using several folds and turning up ends to seal. Cook 4 to 6 inches above hot coals, 30 to 40 minutes, until cooked through, turning packets twice. Packets may also be baked at 400oF for about 30 minutes.
