Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Slit the chicken skin and insert three truffle slices under the skin of each breast.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Finely slice the remaining truffle and set aside.
  • Sear the chicken skin-side down in a medium-hot ovenproof pan for 3 minutes until golden.
  • Turn the chicken and roast in the oven for 20 minutes until cooked through.
  • Boil the leeks for one minute, then refresh in ice water and drain.
  • Repeat the boiling and refreshing process for the potatoes and then the pancetta.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and rest under foil for 5 minutes.
  • Fry the potatoes and pancetta in olive oil for 2 minutes until golden.
  • Add the leeks, chervil, and most of the sliced truffles to the pan.
  • Deglaze the frying pan with water, then stir in butter and the remaining truffle slices.
  • Plate the vegetables and pancetta, reserving the pan liquid.
  • Carve the chicken into three pieces and serve over the vegetables with the sauce.
