Blue Orange Farm Chicken Breast
“Vanessa Collocott, owner of Blue Orange Farm, produces arguably the best poultry I have tasted. One would not understand the true meaning of “free range” until you have visited her farm.” — Chef Mathew Armbruster
For this dish, we pan roasted the chicken breast basted in garlic and rosemary butter. We harvested artichokes from our Hartford vegetable garden, poached the heart of the artichoke adding lemon and butter. The outer leaves were used to make a stock that will be used in other dishes. The plate was garnished with lightly pickled pink peppercorns as well as local sweet parsnips that were pureed and lightly fried to show their versatility. To finish off this delicious dish, we added a foam made from local raw milk spiced with aromatics.
