CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH PEARS, SHALLOTS, AND WILTED SPINACH

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using a heavy skillet or mallet, pound the breasts to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper and lightly coat with a dusting of flour.
• Place 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the butter begins to foam, add two of the chicken breasts and saut¿n one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over and saut¿he other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, raise the heat to medium high and repeat with another tablespoon each of olive oil and butter and the other 2 chicken breasts.
• Add the shallot and pears to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until lightly translucent and golden, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice, mustard, chicken stock, and any juices on the plate and deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped thyme and parsley, and gradually stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until just melted.
• For the spinach, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the sliced garlic to a large saute pan. Warm the oil over high heat. When it is very hot, and before the garlic has any color, add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes or until the spinach is bright green and slightly wilted. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• To serve, divide the spinach between four plates, placing a mound on each. Top the spinach with a chicken cutlet and spoon the shallot and pear sauce over top.

WILTED BABY SPINACH WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, put the flour in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the shallot rings in the flour all at once. When the oil is hot (a shallot ring will sizzle on contact), fry the rings in batches, shaking off excess flour before transferring them to the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crisp, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer the shallot rings with tongs or a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven or shallow stockpot over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the spinach (if it doesn't fit all at once, wait to add more until some of it cooks down, or cook in two batches). Season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook, uncovering occasionally to toss, until the spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the spinach to a serving bowl with tongs or a slotted spoon, leaving any excess liquid in pot. Sprinkle with the shallot rings; serve immediately.
