Truffle Stuffed Whole Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 1 (1 ½ pound) free range Baby Chicken
  • 1 small black truffle, thinly sliced
  • 1 small white Truffle sliced thinly
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1 rib celery, cut into 1-inch lengths
  • 1 carrot, cut into 1-inch lengths
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig fresh sage
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Carefully loosen skin from breast of chicken and insert truffle slices between skin and meat of chicken. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper generously and stuff cavity of chicken with onion, celery, carrot, thyme, sage, bay leaf, and lemon.

In a Dutch oven just large enough to hold the chicken and vegetables, place some of the vegetables on bottom of pot and add chicken stock. Place chicken on top of vegetables and cover Dutch oven. Bake chicken for 40 min, or until tender and cooked through. Serve with pan drippings over creamy truffle polenta (below).

Creamy Truffle Polenta

Ingredients:
  • 5 cups milk
  • 1 cup polenta
  • About 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped rinsed black trumpet
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone or cream cheese (4 oz.)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon truffle oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped white truffles
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • Pepper
Directions:

In a 3-quart pan over high heat, bring milk to a boil. Reduce heat to a low boil.

Stirring constantly, pour in polenta in a slow, thin stream, pausing occasionally to break up any lumps. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until polenta is thick and creamy to bite and pulls away slightly from sides of pan when stirred, 20 to 40 minutes; adjust heat as necessary to maintain a simmer.

While polenta cooks, melt butter in a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms. Stir often until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned, about 7 minutes.

Stir mushrooms, mascarpone cheese, parmesan cheese, truffle oil and chopped truffles, and sherry vinegar into polenta. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and shave fresh white truffles on top.
