Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle each with some thyme and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs, flour and eggs in 3 separate shallow dishes. Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour, shaking off any excess, and then dip into the egg and finally transfer to the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat well. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
  • Working in batches, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one piece of chicken and cook until browned and crispy, flipping once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake until hot and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
2 heaping tablespoons grainy mustard
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley or chives, plus more for garnish
Garlic Spinach, recipe follows
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Two 10-ounce packages baby spinach leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have 8 thinner chicken breast cutlets. Sprinkle both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the cutlets to a plate and set aside. Cook the remaining cutlets in the same manner.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the skillet and stir until golden brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine and allow it to simmer and reduce by half, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Stir in the mustard, followed by the chicken broth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the pan sauce with salt and pepper. Add the herbs and stir.
  • Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, turning them in the sauce to coat and to rewarm them. Serve on top of the Garlic Spinach. Spoon more sauce from the skillet over them and garnish each plate with more fresh herbs.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the garlic and give it a quick stir. Add the spinach and let it cook down, turning often to bring the wilted pieces to the top, until softened, a minute or two.
  • Cook until completely wilted, a minute or two more, then season the spinach with salt and pepper, as well as the lemon juice. Toss to evenly combine everything.

This recipe is so named because everything bagel seasoning is one of the ingredients in the breadcrumb coating for the chicken. The seasoning consists of black and white sesame seeds, dried garlic and onion, sea salt and poppy seeds and adds a distinctive flavor.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 chicken cutlets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
2 lemons, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups mixed greens
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 lemons, halved or sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a second bowl. Mix the panko and everything bagel seasoning in a third bowl.
  • Bread the chicken by dredging each cutlet first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into the egg wash, then cover in the seasoned panko.
  • Add the butter and oil to the skillet. When the butter is melted, add the chicken and cook until golden and crisp (or registering 165 degrees F), 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a rack to rest.
  • For the easy lemon dressing: While the chicken is cooking, add the olive oil, mustard, honey, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste to a mason jar and shake to combine.
  • For the salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed greens in a bowl and toss. Add the greens to a platter, pile the chicken on top and garnish with the tomatoes and lemons. (Alternatively, add the undressed greens to a platter, drizzle on some of the dressing, pile the chicken on top, garnish with the tomatoes and lemons and serve with additional dressing on the side.)

MOM'S SUPER THIN AND CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS



Mom's Super Thin and Crispy Chicken Cutlets image

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus whole leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 6- to 8-ounce chicken breasts
2 cups olive oil
4 large or 6 small cloves garlic
1 stick unsalted butter
2 lemons, halved

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl. Set aside until ready to fry.
  • In a food processor, pulse the breadcrumbs with the parsley, pecorino, granulated garlic and salt until just incorporated. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow dish.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise. On a sturdy cutting board, place a piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or other blunt object, pound the chicken into a flat piece about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Heat 1 cup olive oil to 350 degrees F in a 14-inch cast-iron pan with the garlic cloves. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
  • Working in an assembly line, dredge the cutlets in the egg and then the breading. Double-bread by going back to the egg wash and back into the breading. Add the first piece of breaded chicken to the preheated oil along with 1/2 stick butter. Once the butter is mostly melted, add another piece of chicken. Fry until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is reached, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add more oil and butter to the pan as needed while you fry the rest of your batches, allowing the oil to come back to heat between batches. Rest on the wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot, then place the lemon halves, cut-side down, directly in the pan and allow to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Reserve for garnish.
  • Place the chicken cutlets on a large platter and garnish with freshly grated pecorino, parsley leaves and caramelized lemon halves.
