Method

For the Buttermilk Baked Chicken Breast

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coat them well, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Bake the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

For the Pommes Purée

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into even chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Make the Purée

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add heavy cream and butter. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Wild Mushroom Jus

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Add the mixed wild mushrooms and thyme, cooking until mushrooms are tender.

  2. 6

    Make the Jus

    Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the sauce until desired thickness, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Chive Oil

  1. 7

    Blend the Chive Oil

    In a blender, combine chives, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and vibrant green. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
