Title: Airline Chicken Breast
Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies
Yield: 2 Servings

3 lb Whole chicken
Drizzle olive oil
Salt & ground black pepper
2 pn Herbes de Provence; to taste
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper; or more
1 tb Olive oil
3 tb Butter; divided
1 Sprig fresh rosemary
2 Sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 c Chicken stock; as needed

Slice off 1/2 of each chicken wing by cutting through
the joint where the wing meets the drumette. Slice
through the skin between the thighs and breasts. Make a
shallow cut along the breast bone and 2 deep cuts on
either side, separating the breasts.

Slice each breast off the carcass using the tip of the
knife, keeping the blade pressed against the bone. Cut
through the cartilage to remove breast with the wing
attached.

Remove the tenders and trim as needed. Season with a
drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence,
and cayenne pepper.

Push your finger gently under the skin of each breast,
right next to the wing bone, to separate it from the
meat. Slide 1 tender under the skin, center it, and
smooth over the skin. Sprinkle salt over breasts.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over
medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, skin-side down.
Cook until bottom is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip,
reduce heat to medium, and cook until no longer pink on
the inside, 7 to 10 minutes more. Add 1 tablespoon
butter, rosemary, and thyme. Baste chicken with the
butter. Remove chicken from the skillet.

Pour stock into the pan; increase heat to high. Boil
until reduced to desired thickness, about 2 minutes.
Turn off heat and whisk in remaining butter. Slice each
chicken breast into thirds and spoon the pan sauce on
top.

NOTE: Since food for air travel needs to be prepared
far in advance, airlines back in the day created a
special cut of chicken breast that wouldn't dry out as
much as normal.

19 August 1939 - FDR CREATES NATIONAL AVIATION DAY: A presidential
proclamation from Franklin Delano Roosevelt designates August 19 as
National Aviation Day. The day marks Orville Wright's birthday and
encourages citizens to "observe the day with activities that promote
interest in aviation."

The holiday was established in 1939 with a proclamation which designated
the anniversary of Orville Wright's birthday to be National Aviation Day
(Mr. Wright, born in 1871, was still alive when the proclamation was
first issued, and would live another nine years). The proclamation was
codified (USC 36:I:A:1:118), and it allows the sitting US President to
proclaim August 19 as National Aviation Day each year, if desired. Their proclamation may direct all federal buildings and installations to fly
the US Flag that day, and may encourage citizens to observe the day with activities that promote interest in aviation.
