Faux Fried Chicken With Quick Arugula Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss breadcrumbs and oil until well combined; spread on sheet. Cook, tossing once, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Place flour and eggs in separate bowls; season with salt and pepper. Place a rack on another rimmed baking sheet.
• One at a time, place chicken breasts between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or bottom of a small heavy pan, pound until 1/2 inch thick. Coat chicken on both sides with flour (shaking off excess), then dip in eggs (allowing excess to drip off); dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
• Bake chicken on rack, without turning, until opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula and onion; toss. Top chicken with salad; serve with lemon wedges on the side.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk together the oil, lemon zest and juice, vinegar, mustard, tarragon, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a medium bowl. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag and pour in half of the dressing. Seal the bag and allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. Reserve the remaining dressing for the arugula.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, season with some salt and pepper and grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill the lemon halves cut-side down until grill marks appear, about 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken and lemon to a platter.
• Pour the remaining dressing over the arugula and toss to coat. To serve, place 1 chicken breast on each plate and top with the arugula, a sprinkling of Parmesan and a grilled lemon half.

Steps:

• Boil eggs and let them cool.
• Bake chicken tenders according to directions on package(I have also used leftover chicken in this).
• Tear or prepare lettuce as normal.
• Add cheese, tomato, and cucumber to lettuce.
• Cut chicken into bite size pieces and put into lettuce mixture.
• Dice eggs and add into mixture.
• Mix together ranch dressing and barbeque sauce(I use more than above since we love this dressing) and pour desired amount over salad.
• I do individual salads with this instead of mixing all together. The chicken tends to sink to the bottom.
• You can add whatever other veggies you want to it but my kids won't eat onions, peppers, etc so I skip them.

Steps:

• Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
• In shallow pan, stir together flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat both sides of chicken with flour mixture. Beat eggs in shallow bowl with whisk to blend. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken into beaten eggs; turn to coat. Dredge in bread crumbs, coating completely.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, to at least 165°F. Transfer chicken to serving plates.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir remaining oil and the lemon juice. In medium bowl, toss arugula and tomatoes with oil mixture.
• Serve salad with chicken and lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Season chicken breast strips with salt and pepper. Combine panko, parmesan, cayenne, and thyme on a large plate. Season with salt and pepper. Place flour onto another large plate. Pour milk onto a third large, shallow plate.
• Bread strips: Lightly coat strips in flour, followed by a dip in milk, and then place into the panko mixture, making sure to coat strips on all sides.
• Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, swirl to coat, and add chicken strips, in 2 batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd. Crisp, turning once, until outside is crisp and golden, about 1 minute per side, transferring to a plate as they finish and replenishing oil if skillet is dry. Return all strips to skillet and transfer to oven to finish cooking through, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, dress arugula with lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide chicken strips between serving plates and top each portion with arugula salad and lemon wedges for squeezing atop chicken. Serve.

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 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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk 2/3 cup oil, shallots, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until blended. Reserve 3 tablespoons for dressing. Pour remaining vinaigrette into a large bowl; add mushrooms and toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes., Using a slotted spoon, remove mushrooms from vinaigrette. Transfer to a grill wok or basket; place on grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally., Brush chicken with remaining oil; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°., Place arugula, grilled mushrooms and cheese in a large bowl. Add reserved vinaigrette; toss to coat. Serve with chicken.

Steps:

• For marinade:
• Whisk first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover and chill overnight, turning occasionally.
• For coating:
• Mix first 10 ingredients in another large bowl. Place 1 wire rack on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets. Remove 1 chicken breast from bowl. Turn chicken breast in coating mixture. Transfer to rack, skin side up. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts, arranging 3 breasts on each rack. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon melted butter over each breast. Place 1 baking sheet on top rack and second sheet on bottom rack.
• Bake chicken 20 minutes. Reverse baking sheets. Bake until coating is browned and instant-read thermometer registers 160°F when inserted into thickest part of breast, about 20 minutes longer.
• For salad:
• Meanwhile, whisk first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season dressing to taste with pepper.
• Place arugula and Parmesan in large bowl. Add some of dressing; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 chicken breast on each plate. Divide salad among plates and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Spray a large roasting pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
• In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine flour, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
• In a separate bowl or pie plate, combine cornflake crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
• Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl or pie plate.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Working a piece at a time, dip chicken pieces in buttermilk and moisten all sides.
• Place chicken in bowl with flour mixture and turn to coat.
• Dip in buttermilk again, then coat with cornflake mixture.
• Arrange chicken in roasting pan, leaving some space between pieces. This process can get quite messy, but hang in there.
• Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 40 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Serve immediately.
