Loozyanner Chicken


I need a good chicken fix. Of course, a little Loozyanner influence would make it delicious. So, this morning, I put on a bit of Big Al Carson on the stereo, and got my mind to working. Smell the rubber? Only kidding! Here is what I came up with........

Loozyanner Chicken

Grill some chicken seasoned with salt and pepper, and set aside. About 6 breasts will do, or if you like dark meat, add some thighs.

First of all make a Cajun Cream Sauce. To do this throw 2 cups of heavy cream into a double boiler. Add some Tony's or Slap Yer Mama seasoning. Hell, I guess about a tablespoon. Throw in 2 tbspns of Worcestershire sauce and 2 tbspns of Tabasco. Add a dash of paprika for color if it isn't red enough. Keep whisking until it reduces by a third. Done.

Sautee 1/2 lb. of diced andouille sausage in 2 tbspns of butter. add 3 cloves of chopped garlic and about 2 cups of sliced mushrooms. Cook until tender. The mushrooms will start to stick to the pan. Deglaze with about a 1/2 cup of white wine. Let it reduce. Of course, in my true tradition, pour yourself a glass and crank up the stereo. Add about 3 chopped green onions and your cream sauce to the pan. Stir and when heated add about 1/2 cup of Parmigian-Reggiano cheese.
Spoon over the grilled chicken. Top with more cheese.

Now, call your friends and in your best Justin Wilson accent tell them to get their asses over for dinner. They will need to bring wine , of course. A nice Pinot Gris would be perfect.
