Chicken Cutlets With Mustard Greens And Roasted Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise making 8 roughly equal pieces. (They should look like large chicken tenders.) Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Set up a standard breading station: mix the flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, if using, in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish.
• Mix the panko, Pecorino-Romano, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat it on both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken back to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
• Line a clean baking sheet with a clean wire rack. Heat 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the clean wire rack, season with salt and hold in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 4 batches in total.
• Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

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.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine chicken, oregano, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit 10 minutes. (To store, transfer to a zip-top bag and freeze, up to 5 days.) Discard garlic. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet; add mustard greens and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until greens are tender, 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat broiler with rack in middle. Place squash in an 8-inch square broilerproof baking dish and top with Parmesan. Broil until top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve squash with chicken and greens.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a rimmed 13x18-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, mustard, and apple cider in a bowl.
• Sprinkle chicken breasts with rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place on one side of the baking sheet; brush with mustard mixture. Place butternut squash on the other side of the baking sheet; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss until well coated.
• Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender and chicken is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Baste chicken with mustard mixture several times during roasting.

Steps:

• Lightly season chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Working in 2 batches and pouring off all but 2 Tbsp. fat between batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until skin is browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate, placing skin side up (chicken will not be cooked through at this point).
• Cook white and pale green parts of scallions, chiles, and ginger in same pot, stirring often, until scallions and ginger are golden, about 3 minutes. Add wine, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced to about 3 Tbsp., 5 minutes. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and 1 cup broth and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Return chicken to pot, placing skin side up and overlapping if needed. Partially cover pot, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Add squash and remaining 1 cup broth to pot and push in squash so it's mostly submerged. Arrange greens on top. Bring to a simmer, partially cover pot, and cook until squash is barely fork-tender and greens are wilted, 10-12 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium, and continue to cook until liquid is reduced by about two-thirds and has the consistency of thin gravy, 10-15 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and drizzle vinegar over vegetables. Taste sauce; it should be plenty salty, but season with more salt if needed. Add chicken back to pot, turning to coat in sauce, then scatter dark green parts of scallions and sesame seeds over top. Serve with rice.
• Chicken can be braised 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat covered over low.

Steps:

• On a plate, place the bread crumbs, salt, thyme, dried tarragon and pepper and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
• Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper and use the back of a small heavy skillet to lightly pound them until they are somewhat flattened and even in thickness. Slather each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of the mustard and roll each in the bread crumbs to coat.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil to each. Place 2 cutlets in each skillet and cook, turning once, until the breasts are cooked through and deeply browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Lower the heat if the crust begins to brown too quickly.)
• Transfer the cutlets to a platter and garnish with the minced tarragon and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Cook chicken, flipping once, until golden brown in places and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add capers, brine, and broth; bring to a boil, turning chicken a few times. Transfer chicken to a plate; cover to keep warm. Continue to boil sauce until reduced to 1/2 cup, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cover.
• Return skillet to medium-high; swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add squashes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown in places, 3 to 4 minutes. Add spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook, stirring, until just wilted. Stir in feta; season with salt and pepper. Serve, alongside chicken topped with caper sauce, and bread and butter.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. In another bowl, combine cheese and buttermilk. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl., Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Coat chicken with flour mixture; dip in buttermilk, then coat with crumbs. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in oil for 5-7 minutes on each side or no longer pink.
