Best Sliced Chicken With Arugula Recipes

LEMON PARMESAN CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA SALAD TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs, the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest and thyme, and set aside.
• Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper until they are 1/4 inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the prepared flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl. In a 1-cup glass measure, whisk together the 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well.
• Pile some arugula on top of each hot chicken breast. With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the chunk of Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on top of the arugula.

SLICED CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• On a plate stir together flour and salt and pepper to taste. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
• In a large heavy skillet heat oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and brown chicken, turning it once, until golden. Add wine and broth and simmer chicken, turning it once, until just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool completely.
• While chicken is cooling, in a bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Cut chicken into very thin slices.
• Discard coarse stems from arugula and mound arugula on each of 6 plates. Arrange chicken slices over arugula and drizzle with sauce.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, ARUGULA AND GARLIC YOGURT

Steps:

• Combine chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together harissa, cumin and 3 tablespoons oil. Pour over chicken and potatoes and toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine leeks, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange chicken and potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes. Toss potatoes lightly. Scatter leeks over pan. Roast until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and slightly crisped, 25 to 30 minutes longer.
• While chicken cooks, place yogurt in a small bowl. Grate garlic over yogurt and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To serve, spoon yogurt over chicken and vegetables in the pan. Scatter arugula and dill over mixture. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice and serve.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH BREAD AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a baking dish. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs without breaking the skin. Carefully slide the sprigs of thyme and the garlic under the skin. Put the lemon in the cavity. Tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the body. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sea salt and the pepper, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean!) Place the bread in a medium (10-inch) cast-iron skillet in a single layer. Brush the chicken with olive oil and place it, breast side up, on top of the bread. Roast for 30 minutes, turn it over and roast for 15 minutes, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Wrap the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for a full 30 minutes. (Don¿t worry; it will stay hot.) The bread will be almost burnt on the bottom and soft with the pan drippings on top.
• Place the Arugula Salad in a very large, shallow serving platter. Put the chicken and the bread on a cutting board. Cut the bread into 1-inch squares and sprinkle them on the salad. Carve the chicken thickly (see note) and place it on top of the salad. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken, sprinkle it with sea salt, and serve warm.
• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whisk in the olive oil, stir in the scallions and currants, and set aside.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl, add the vinaigrette, and toss well.

ARUGULA & CHICKEN WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Grill or bake the chicken breasts until medium-rare.
• Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and reserve.
• Heat olive oil in a large stir-fry pan over high heat.
• Add garlic and stir-fry until golden but not burn't, about 1 minute.
• Immediately add tomatoes and chicken stock and heat to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Add arugula leaves and toss until they begin to wilt, about 30 seconds.
• Immediately toss in the chicken and cook for 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in plenty of rapidly boiling, salted water until el dente.
• Drain well, and immediately add to the sauce.
• Toss thoroughly to entangle the arugula into the pasta strands.
• (Timing is critical. Make sure the pasta will be done immediately after adding the chicken to the sauce.) Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until all ingredients are heated through.
• Serve immediately, sprinkling parmesan cheese over each serving.
• Arugula is a peppery leafy vegetable resembling spinach leaves with ragged edges.
• It is generally available during late spring and summer.
• If it is not available, substitute fresh spinach or a 50/50 blend of watercress leaves and spinach.
