Harry T's Stuffed Chicken
- 2 ounces ground andouille sausage, casings removed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ounce yellow onion, brunoise
- 1/2 ounce green bell peppers, brunoise
- 1/2 ounce celery, brunoise
- 1/4 ounce minced garlic (from 1 to 2 cloves)
- 1/4 ounce green onion, diced
- 4 ounces homemade or store-bought cornbread
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- One 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast,
- 1/2 ounce unsalted butter
- 1 ounce minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 ounce grated smoked Gouda
- 1/2 ounce grated Parmesan
- For the cornbread stuffing: Heat the andouille in a skillet or saute pan over low heat until the fat is rendered (it will separate and become liquid in the pan).
- Drain the liquid and set it aside in a small bowl to cool (you will use this to bind the stuffing).
- Set aside the andouille.
- In a separate saute pan, add the butter, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic and green onion and sweat over medium heat until the color begins to come out, about 5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Crumble the cornbread into a mixing bowl.
- Add the andouille and crumble it together with the cornbread until large crumbs form.
- Add the reserved rendered fat and the onion mixture and gently fold them into the cornbread mixture.
- Set aside.
- For the chicken: Grease a baking sheet with the oil.
- Grill the chicken in a grill pan or on an outdoor grill on medium-high heat until cooked throughout, about 8 minutes per side.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Scoop enough of the cornbread stuffing to cover the breast and press it down onto the top of the chicken.
- Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and broil until the stuffing browns, 4 to 5 minutes.
- For the smoked Gouda sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook to just release the flavor, no more than 2 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, then add the Gouda and Parmesan and stir to thicken the sauce.
- Once all the ingredients are melded together, remove from the heat and pour the sauce over the top of the broiled chicken and cornbread stuffing.
