Provided by Tayo Ola

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon, plus more to taste, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons French's Dijon Mustard
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced, plus more, chopped, for garnish,
½ lemon, zested
½ lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced
½ lb asparagus, woody ends removed, stalks cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
½ cup peas, fresh or frozen

Steps:

  • Season the chicken evenly on both sides with 1½ tablespoons salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the pan (it will not be fully cooked) and set aside. Wipe out the pan if it looks charred.
  • Melt the butter in the pan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then whisk in flour. Pour in the chicken broth, whisking, then add French's Dijon Mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and whisk until smooth. Simmer sauce for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Return the sauce to a simmer, place the chicken in the sauce, and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer until chicken is fully cooked through, 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the pan. Stir the minced parsley and lemon zest into the sauce, then taste for seasoning. Slice the chicken. Remove the sauce from the heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt to taste. Saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pan. Add asparagus and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Add the peas and cook 1 minute more.
  • Place the vegetables on a plate. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with the dijon sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

GRILLED TOFU



Grilled Tofu image

Pouring hot marinade over tofu slices encourages faster absorption of flavors, eliminating the need to marinate overnight. In a pinch, this method yields tasty results in three hours, but the recommended six hours deliver a much more complex, richer flavored tofu. Grilled, it makes a versatile side dish and is delicious warm or at room temperature. Pair it with steamed rice and a simple green salad, or turn the tofu into satisfying vegetarian sandwiches by tucking it into pita bread with lettuce and avocado.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14-ounce) block extra-firm tofu, sliced crosswise into eight equal slices (about 1/2-inch thick)
2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil, plus more for greasing grates
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Arrange sliced tofu in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate. Press top with more paper towels to remove excess water. Arrange tofu in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, or any shallow dish that can hold the tofu in one layer.
  • In a small saucepan, combine oil, garlic and ginger over medium; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, sugar, pepper and 1/4 cup water, and cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour hot marinade over tofu. Gently turn tofu slices to evenly coat, then cover dish tightly with plastic wrap to seal in heat. Refrigerate for 6 hours (or up to 8 hours), flipping tofu slices halfway through.
  • Heat grill to medium and grease grates well (or heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium and lightly grease). Grill tofu over direct heat until golden and caramelized, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, transfer marinade to a small saucepan over medium and warm through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in scallions.
  • Transfer tofu to a serving plate and spoon over the sauce. Serve warm.
