ALMOND CRUSTED CHICKEN



Almond Crusted Chicken image

From Williams Sonoma's Cooking Basics. It uses boneless skinless chicken breasts and is quite delicious. It's a great dish for company. I used a little more almonds and parmesan cheese for the coating - it depends on the size of your chicken breasts. I also prefer more shallot and a little more wine.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 23m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded thin
1 egg, beaten
salt and pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup sliced almonds, minced
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the parmesan cheese and almonds in a flat dish.
  • In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Dip each chicken piece into flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten egg, then into the parmesan & almonds.
  • Place chicken into hot pan and cook 2 minutes, until golden brown. Turn and cook 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer to a warm plate.
  • Pour off excess oil from pan.
  • Add shallots and parsley to pan and sauté over medium heat. Add wine, then gradually whisk in the remaining butter.
  • Season with salt and pepper and spoon over chicken breasts. Squeeze a little lemon juice over each breast.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to the proper internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The tomato-citrus sauce is a key component of this dish. Make sure to use ripe, flavorful tomatoes and fresh citrus juice. You can also add herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be crispy and the sauce will be flavorful and hot.

Conclusion:

This almond-crusted chicken with tomato-citrus sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and refreshing. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
