Category: Pasta - Chicken
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup minced onions
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pound julienne chicken confit, recipe follows
1 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed, blanched and cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 pound fresh pasta sheets
1/2 pound Smoked Mozzarella, small diced
Drizzle of white truffle oil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. In a large saute pan, heat the oil. Add the onions. Season with salt and pepper.

Saute for 1 minute. Add the garlic and chickaen. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute.

Tear the pasta sheets into bite size pieces. Place the pasta in the boiling water and cook until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (the bottom part of the unit that water or substances can exit).

In a mixing bowl, toss the pasta with the chicken mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese. Season with a drizzle of truffle oil. Garnish with the parsley. Serve warm.

Chicken confit
4 chicken leg portions with thighs attached, excess fat trimmed and reserved (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon plus 1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
10 garlic cloves
4 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
1/2 tsp table salt
4 cups olive oil

Lay the leg portions on a platter, skin side down. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt and black pepper. Place the garlic cloves, bay leaves, and sprigs of thyme on each of 2 leg portions. Lay the remaining 2 leg portions, flesh to flesh, on top. Put the reserved fat from the chicken in the bottom of a glass or plastic container. Top with the sandwiched leg portions. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 tsp kosher salt. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 200. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Remove the garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and chicken fat and reserve. Rinse the chicken with cool water, rubbing off some of the salt and pepper. Pat dry with paper towels.

Put the reserved garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and duck fat in the bottom of an enameled cast iron pot. Sprinkle evenly with the peppercorns and salt. Lay the chicken on top, skin side down. Add the olive oil. Cover and bake for 12 to 14 hours, or until the meat pulls away from the bone.

Remove the chicken from the fat. Strain the fat and reserve. Pick the meat from the bones and place it in a stoneware container. Cover the meat with some of the strained fat, making a 1/4-inch layer. The chicken confit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month.

The excess oil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used like butter for cooking. The tinge of chicken taste in the oil is wonderful. I use the oil to roast potatoes, cook green beans, and pan-fry veal.
