HELP! Chicken Sauce?!
HELP! Chicken Sauce?
Hi, I am baking chicken and need a sauce to go over it so it will stay moist. The person I am cooking for is allergic to onions so I can't use any chicken bases or stocks and I don't have time to make my own...I think that using a basic bechamel, white sauce and adding seasonings to it might work....any ideas??? Thanks for the help
Answers:
chicken goes great with a white wine or butter sauce as well. you can just make a thick bechamel and add a little wine to bring it to the consistency you want. Or anothe of my favorites is a butter sauce yoneed a 1/2 cup or so of butter and 1/4 cup of water as well as any herbs or seasonings you might want to add. take your butter and cut it into small cubes. in a sm sauce pan heat your water to boiling and add the cubes of butter , agitating the pan constantly until the butter is dissolved, add any seasonings you want at this point. the nice thing about this sauce is it's easy to make,it's a tough sauce to break as it can be boiled. As long as you don't boil all the water out of the butter it wil stay emulsified. It is really rich and works great plain with crab legs. With chicken you could do a sage or oregano and then sqeeze lemon over it right before you serve it. good luck!
