Chicken Paté

Fig Balsamic Vin Cotto

Scallion Crème Fraîche

Method

Chicken Paté

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breast to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Blend the Paté

    In a food processor, combine the chicken mixture and cognac. Process until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream while blending until you reach a creamy consistency.

  4. 4

    Chill the Paté

    Transfer the chicken paté to a serving dish or terrine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Fig Balsamic Vin Cotto

  1. 5

    Simmer the Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, chopped figs, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Reduce the Mixture

    Allow the mixture to reduce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 7

    Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let it cool. Store in a jar until ready to serve.

Scallion Crème Fraîche

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix crème fraîche with finely chopped scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 9

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serving

  1. 10

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the Auspicious Baking Co. baguette into thin slices. Serve alongside the chicken paté, fig balsamic vin cotto, and scallion crème fraîche.
