Method

1. Confit Chicken: Add the 4 chicken breasts into a medium bowl, season with salt & pepper, add fennel seed, orange zest, thyme mix by hand until evenly coated. Transfer to a small roasting pan in a single layer & refrigerate covered overnight.
   
   Preheat oven to 375F. In a medium saucepan over medium low heat combine the Duck fat & honey just until liquified & pour over the chicken breasts. Add the cinnamon & bay leaf & cover with foil. bake for 25 – 35 minutes. Let rest in the fat for around 10 minutes. Once rested add the chicken breast to a preheated sauté pan & sear skin side down for 1- 1.5 minutes until skin is crisp.

2. Dauphinoise Potato: In a large bowl combine the russet potato, sweet potato & cream & mix well. Brush a 2” baking pan generously with the melted butter. Layer 3 layers of the russet potatoes then one layer of the sweet potatoes while sprinkling each individual layer with cheese, rosemary, nutmeg, salt & pepper. Repeat until all the potatoes are used & with the final layer being sweet potato.

   Preheat oven to 350F. Bake covered for 1-1.5hrs. remove from oven & let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate covered overnight. When ready to serve, cut the Dauphinoise into wedges. Bake in a 350F oven until hot, 15 minutes.

3. Red Wine Raspberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, reduce the veal stock by 2/3. Meanwhile in another medium saucepan, sauté the shallot & garlic in the canola oil for 1 minute. Add the beet, carrot & celery & cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar & red wine & simmer on low until reduced by half. Strain through a fine meshed sieve. Add the red wine reduction & raspberries into the reduced veal stock & simmer on low for a ½ hour. Remove from heat & whisk in the cold butter cubes a few pieces at a time to your desired constancy. Season with salt & pepper.
4. Herb Whipped Chevre: Add all ingredients into a food processor & pulse until completely combined. Transfer to a container & refrigerate for ½ hour. Using 2 spoons, form quenelles with the chevre & place on a parchment lined tray & set aside. Bring up to room temperature before topping the chicken.
5. Plating: Start with the Dauphinoise potato just off the centre of the plate. Serve your favorite vegetable next to the potato, we used grilled asparagus & roasted yellow beets in our photo. Next slice the chicken breast on a bias & place atop the potato & vegetables with the bone inside of the chicken being on top. Gently place the herbed chevre on the chicken breast & finish with the wild raspberry red wine sauce & your favorite blend of fresh micro greens.
