METHOD
Preparing the chicken
- Cover the chicken breast with strips of the barding fat, season the chicken and place a branch of thyme in the cavity.
- Brown the chicken on all sides in oil, then place it into a braising pan or Dutch oven and cook it uncovered in a 200° C oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan, add the brunoise (finely diced vegetables) to the pan, cover it and let the vegetables cook.
- Degrease the pan and deglaze it with the white wine and vermouth. Add the chicken stock, return the chicken to the pan and continue cooking at 180° C. Be sure to have some stock on hand to baste the chicken.
- Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time, add 50 g preserved lemon and continue cooking uncovered.
- Continue to baste the chicken with the cooking juices until it is flavourful, shiny and nicely coloured.
- Remove the chicken, cover with parchment paper and keep warm.
- Degrease the pan juices, strain them and set aside in a warm place.
Preparing the crayfish
- Cook the crayfish for 1 or 2 minutes in the simmering court bouillon.
- Remove the claws and crack them.
- Remove the shell from the tail and take out the black veins. Keep the crayfish tails warm.
- Sauté the claws and the shells in moderately hot butter, add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, a sprig of tarragon and the crushed peppercorns. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and kirsch, add vegetable stock just to barely cover the vegetables, and season with a pinch of sea salt.
- Let simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids to extract all the juice.
Presentation
- Combine the chicken cooking juices with the those from the crayfish; season, and off the heat whisk in some butter and the tarragon leaves.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Cut up the chicken; place the crayfish on the chicken pieces and spoon the sauce over top.
