Chicken Paillards With Schmaltz Bread Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts on a work surface using a meat tenderizer or heavy pan to 1/4-inch thick. Whisk wine, juice of 1 lemon, shallot, 2 teaspoons olive oil, and garlic together in a shallow bowl. Add chicken breasts; marinate for 15 minutes.
• Whisk juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lemon zest together in a large bowl; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to combine.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate, or heat a skillet over high heat.
• Remove chicken from marinade; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Cook chicken on preheated grill until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Plate chicken with arugula salad on top.

Steps:

• For the chicken:
• Begin by pounding out the chicken breast gently between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
• Prepare a breading station with flour, whisked eggs and milk, and panko crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Coat the breasts in flour, egg then panko. Lay the coated breasts out on a flat tray and refrigerate to let the crust dry out (about 10 minutes) this will ensure there is less moisture and less chance your coating will break when frying.
• Shallow fry the paillard in hot oil for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on how thick the breasts are. Drain well, season with salt and set aside when done.
• For the dressing:
• Put the anchovies, egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice, and water into a blender and process for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth. With the blender running, pour the olive oil in slowly for the dressing to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan, season with salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper; set aside. (Refrigerate the dressing if you will not be using it right away.)
• Prepare the salad by splitting the grape tomatoes in half through the middle lengthwise, mixing all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and toss the salad well.
• To serve lay the warm, crispy chicken paillard on the base of the plate and top with the salad. Garnish with shaved parmesan cheese, a wedge of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs
• Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

Steps:

• One at a time, put the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and flatten to an even 1/2-inch thickness with a meat mallet. Sprinkle on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
• Add the all-purpose flour to a baking dish. In another baking dish, stir together the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with 2 tablespoons water. Dredge both sides of the chicken breasts first in the AP flour, then the egg mixture and finally the almond flour mixture. Place the coated chicken back on the baking sheet.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. (Depending on the size of the breasts, you may need two skillets.) Add the butter and 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook to infuse the oil, about 1 minute. Remove the rosemary and garlic from the skillet. Make sure the oil is hot enough to be quivering in the skillet, then add the chicken by placing it in and releasing it away from you. Shake the skillet to ensure it doesn't stick. (You can add the rosemary sprig back to the skillet if you want to infuse more flavor.) Cook until the chicken begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook until the other side is browned, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on a half-sheet tray fitted with a rack.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, honey, poppy seeds and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside. Season the arugula with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and toss. Add the apple slices and toss to coat. Plate the chicken and serve with the arugula salad. Drizzle the salad with the poppy seed sour cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to an even thickness of 1/3 inch. Spread flour in a wide shallow bowl or pie pan. Beat eggs in another wide shallow bowl. In a third such bowl or dish, combine bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano and 3 tablespoons parsley.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, then in egg, then in bread crumbs, pressing to help crumbs adhere. Place 2 large sauté pans or skillets over high heat for 2 minutes. Place 2 tablespoons olive oil in each pan and swirl pans so oil spreads. Heat until shimmering, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Carefully place 3 chicken breasts in each pan. Cook 3 minutes, then add one tablespoon butter to each pan. Continue to cook until undersides are golden brown, about one more minute. Reduce heat to medium, turn chicken and cook again until golden brown and chicken is opaque in center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet, cover with foil and keep warm.
• Return unwashed pans to medium heat and swirl one tablespoon olive oil into each. Divide rosemary and chili between pans and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Add half the garlic to each pan, stir a few seconds, then add escarole to each pan. Season with salt and pepper and sauté gently until greens have just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with a squeeze of lemon and transfer to a large warmed platter. Top with chicken, cover with foil and keep warm.
• Wipe out one pan and return to medium heat. Add remaining 10 tablespoons butter and cook until it is browned and has a nutty fragrance. Remove from heat, wait a few seconds and add capers, lemon zest and remaining 3 tablespoons parsley. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Spoon brown butter and capers over chicken and greens.

Steps:

• Mix mustard and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a shallow dish. Cut each chicken breast in half (lengthwise, so you have two thin filets) and place in the mustard mixture. Turn to coat both sides and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet, add onion and sauté on low a few minutes, until softened. Add corn, chile and squash and continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, fold in tomato, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and set aside.
• Remove chicken from marinade, dust with flour and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining oil in a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan on medium-high heat and sear chicken, turning once, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes a side. Arrange on a serving platter. Add cooking oil to salad, fold in cilantro and spoon over and around chicken.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add half of chicken and cook, flipping once, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken and 1 more tablespoon oil.
• Reduce heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet, then bread and juices from chicken plate. Cook, stirring, until golden, 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl with tomatoes, capers, celery hearts and leaves, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in cheese and basil; serve with sliced chicken.
