Fine Dining at Home: Chicken al Mattone

August 26, 2009 by Cindy 1 Comment

This is the goal Chicken al Mattone

Looks incredibly delicious, no? It’s the cover art for the September 2009 issue of Bon Appetit. The recipe has graciously been provided by Sfoglia, a restaurant in on Lexington Ave in New York City.

I checked their menu; currently, a Chicken al Mattone dinner entree runs $24. Thats $24, plus a drink, add the tip, and a plane ticket to NYC… yep thats not quite in my budget at the moment. Instead, I’ve recently acquired the ingredients and am preparing the chicken for a whopping $5. Thats $5 for 4 servings mind you… though my family is a little wary that a 4.5 lb chicken will feed 4 people. We shall see.

I’ve been wanting to prepare this chicken as soon as I got my latest copy of Bon Appetit. Especially since my family gives me a hard time for watching the food network/reading food magazines and never making the things I see. In my defense, my work schedule does not give me a lot of opportunities to cook dinner (I’m physically not at home around what normal people would consider dinner hours). So part of my staycation* adventure is making this lovely dish. The mildly gruesome element will be butterflying the chicken. Which means removing the backbone. I really don’t like dissecting food of any kind, but chicken bones especially freak me out… especially the little vertebrates. Just thinking about it is giving me the heebee geebees a little. But I’m determined to power through. The chicken is marinating overnight. Photos of my actual creation to follow.

*Staycation: taking a vacation w/o actually going anywhere. As a general rule, I dont like these redicious contractions. But it is what it is.
