Issue #1

The "Best Art Fair in New York" is up for grabs these days. It has traditionally been "The Armory Show" at NY's Chelsea Piers, but this British invasion of the "Frieze Art Fair", in it's huge serpentine tent on Randall's Island, may have already won the title "Best Art Fair in New York", in only their third year of hosting this powerhouse New York art event.

This is the first of six issues dedicated to the Frieze Art Fair, New York 2014.

FOOD

Franklinwood Chicken, 

Tomatoes & Rice

This chicken recipe is quick, peppery and delicious.

Ingredients

2 fresh chicken breasts - boneless, skinless

2 fresh tomatoes - large dice

4 Tbsp bottled champagne dressing,

8 Tbsp bottled Cesar dressing, 

1/4 cup (+ more if needed) whole milk

1 Tbsp heavy cream

1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives for garnish

Standard Steak Seasoning

Veg. Oil Spray

Directions

- Cook a cup of rice in a pot on the stove (see directions below) 

- Butterfly the chicken breasts to make the breasts the same thickness throughout (roughly 1/2 inch thick).

- Sprinkle steak seasoning moderately on the breasts.

- Combine the dressings and milks in a bowl and stir to incorporate.

- Spray veg. oil in large high walled skillet.

- Turn burner on high heat / heat skillet for 10 seconds.

- Place both breasts in skillet to brown, do not overlap.

- After one minute turn meat over.

- Cook on 2nd side, feeling the meat with your spatula, when the edges change from soft to firm, turn meat over again.

- Pour diced tomatoes into the pan and cook with the chicken, after a minute, scoop the tomatoes on top of the chicken to help flavor.

- When center of chicken starts to slightly firm up, flip one more time and put tomatoes on top of chicken.

- When center of this side starts to slightly firm up, remove the chicken only from the pan and place on a plate to rest.

- Pour the dressing and milk mixture into the pan with the tomatoes and brown bits and seasoning left over from the cooked chicken. 

- Stir to incorporate the dressing mix and tomatoes into a gravy-like sauce, naturally scraping some of the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.

- When the sauce turns brown, remove from the heat.

- Slice down the center of thickest part of the chicken breast to view doneness. The goal is to have beautiful, soft meat, but no uncooked pink left. 

- Dice the chicken breasts into rough 1" cubes.

(If the center meat is definitely uncooked pink, re-cook those pieces in a fresh skillet sprayed with oil, just until pink leaves the meat - you want tender moist chicken, not dry hard chicken.)

-Place chicken in a serving bowl and pour the tomatoes / dressing sauce on top, stir to cover each piece of chicken.

TO PLATE:

- Place a mound of rice on the plate and spoon the chicken and sauce on top.

- Garnish with some fresh chopped chives

- Add a vegetable or side salad to complete the plate.

RICE

Directions:

1 cup rice

2 cups salted water

- In a med pot, bring above to a boil, then reduce temp. to a simmer and cover with a lid.

- Cook rice for 20 minutes WITHOUT taking off the lid or stirring. 

- After 20, remove lid & fluff rice.

- Ready to serve. 

Recipe serves 4 to 6
