I broke down a full chicken, roasted and reduced the bones from stock to jus, dry brined a breast and thigh for 24 hours, blended the thigh with mirepoix and crimini mushrooms, stuffed that into the breast, and seared it in the smaltz that was rendered while making the jus.
While the ballotine finished in the oven, I made my carrot puree and finished the jus with butter, thyme, and shallots. Plated with some micro greens.
Thank you for the compliments and critique! I never realized how unlevel my floor and/or table were until I poured this jus haha. It all rushed down to one side and saturated the puree, allowing it to break the dam before I could correct.
