Free Range Roasted Chicken Stock
This recipe uses Wolfgang Puck's® Free Range Roasted Chicken Stock

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Heat the oven to 450° F. Stir the cheese and half the herbs in a small bowl. Season with the black pepper.
  2. Loosen the skin on the chicken. Spread 1 / 4 of the cheese mixture under the skin of each chicken breast half. Place the chicken, skin-side up, into a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Brush the chicken with the oil.
  3. Roast for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Heat the shallots, wine and stock in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Cook and stir until the mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in the cream. Stir in the butter, 1 piece at a time, making sure it is melted before adding another. Stir in the remaining herbs. Season with additional black pepper.
  5. Spoon the sauce onto 4 plates. Cut the chicken into slices and place on the sauce.

*If using bone-in chicken breast halves, increase the roasting time to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
