CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Crispy Chicken Sandwiches image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 6h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken cutlets
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 lemon, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive oil cooking spray, for the baking sheet
4 slices prosciutto
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons store-bought pesto
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
4 slices mozzarella
4 potato buns, toasted
1/2 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Combine the chicken, buttermilk, lemon and salt in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • For the crispy prosciutto: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Lay the prosciutto flat on the baking sheet and spray with a few more spritzes. Bake until lightly toasted and crispy, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • For the mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the sandwiches: Mix together the flour, breadcrumbs and salt in a shallow bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapeseed oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, removing as much of the buttermilk as possible, and dredge in the flour mixture. Place immediately in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Fry on the first side until golden brown and there is a ring of cooked chicken around the edges, about 5 minutes. Gently flip the chicken and continue to cook on the second side until evenly golden brown and cooked through, an additional 4 minutes. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each and cover the pan for an additional minute to melt the cheese. Alternatively, you can remove the chicken to a small baking tray, top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Spread the cut sides of the buns evenly with pesto mayonnaise. Place a small amount of arugula on the bottom halves and top with a cutlet. Break a slice of crispy prosciutto on top. Close the sandwiches and enjoy.

ALMOND CHICKEN



Almond Chicken image

Love one dish meals! This has lots of veggies and chicken. If you have everything lined up and ready to go in the wok, this comes together quickly. If you don't have a wok, you can use a really hot Dutch oven. I don't usually serve it over rice to save carbs, but I'm sure you can.

SHREDDED CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Shredded Chicken Sandwiches image

This Ohio potluck staple tends to be made with canned chicken, cream of mushroom soup, saltine crackers, and other iffy components. I developed this version using real ingredients so you can enjoy the warm comfort of shredded chicken sandwiches in a healthier, more delicious way.

Provided by Mary Lee Sauder

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup slivered almonds
2 slices white bread, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 cups chicken broth, or as needed
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 large roll or bun (3-1/2" dia)s brioche buns, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pulse almonds in the bowl of a food processor to fine crumbs. Add bread, oil, salt, and pepper and pulse mixture to coarse crumbs. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then place in a Dutch oven or deep skillet in a single layer and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming foam. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until no chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and let cool a bit on a cutting board, then shred with two forks.
  • Strain chicken broth to remove solids.
  • Return chicken to the pot, then add bread crumb mixture and 4 cups chicken broth. Boil over medium heat, adding more broth if necessary, until mixture reduces and reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Toast flat sides of buns until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Fill with a generous scoop of chicken mixture and serve.

Almond-Crusted Curry Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches image

Blanched almonds add a delicious crunch to elegant tea sandwiches filled with flavorful curried chicken.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup toasted sliced blanched almonds
1 whole skinless and boneless chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 small onion, unpeeled and quartered
4 whole black peppercorns
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons mango chutney
3/4 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
24 thin slices white bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, and gently crush. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, salt, onion, peppercorns, and the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool; reserve stock for another use.
  • When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and chop into small pieces. Return to plate; cover, and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, chutney, vinegar, and toasted coconut; stir to combine. Reserve 1/2 cup curry mayonnaise, and stir remaining mayonnaise into chicken. Thinly spread butter on two slices of bread; cover one slice with a thin layer of chicken salad, and top with other bread slice. Set aside. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Stack several sandwiches; use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut into two rectangles. Arrange sandwiches in a single row on the serving tray; they should rest on one long edge with the short ends standing upright. Spread a dab of reserved curry mayonnaise on short ends, and gently pat on almonds. Serve immediately. (Do not cover with damp paper towels or the almonds will become soft.)
