FRIED CRUTONS
1-inch French bread cubes
Olive oil
Unsalted butter
In a paper bag, mix flour, caribe and salt. Dredge chicken in flour
mixture. Meanwhile, heat butter in a large, deep, heavy skillet over
medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, turning
as needed; adjust heat as necessary to prevent overbrowning. Then add
cognac to hot skillet and flame carefully, keeping a lid nearby to put out
flames if they rise too high. When flames die out, stir in garlic, bay
leaf, thyme, 3 Tbs parsley, onions, mushrooms, bacon and a generous
grinding of black pepper. Pour wine over all. Bring to a boil, then reduce
heat, cover and simmer about 45 minutes until chicken is tender and sauce
is thickened. Meanwhile, prepare Fried Croutons, if desired. To serve,
place chicken on a large warmed platter and cover with sauce, arranging
onions decoratively around chicken. Sprinkle croutons (if used) over top,
then sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Makes 6 servings. FRIED
CROUTONS: In a skillet, toast French bread cubes in a mixture of half
melted butter and half olive oil until light golden brown on all sides,
stirring as needed. Cool.
