Breaded Chicken Breasts With Parmesan Cheese image

Breading is one of the finest and most versatile cooking techniques. It's easy and quick, and foods properly breaded and cooked are particularly tempting. Pair this dish with a quick ratatouille, a white or red wine (try a lightly chilled Beaujolais), a tossed green salad, and a sherbet or ice for dessert.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/4 pounds
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons flour
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut away and discard any white membranes or traces of fat from the breast halves. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Dip the breasts in the flour. Coat well, and shake off excess.

  • Combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a third dish, and blend.
  • Dip the breast halves in the egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Drain off excess. Dip the pieces in the bread-crumb mixture, also coating thoroughly. Pat the pieces lightly with the flat side of a large knife to make the crumbs adhere.
  • Heat the oil, preferably in a nonstick skillet, and add the breasts. Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown on the second side.
  • Transfer the chicken to a warm platter; pour the fat from the skillet.

CRISPY CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS AND GOAT CHEESE



Crispy Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Mushrooms and Goat Cheese image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 chicken livers, finely chopped
1 pound wild mushrooms, stemmed and finely chopped (any kind you like; shiitake, oyster or cremini are great)
3/4 cup dry white wine
4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
1/2 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the shallots, season with salt and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Toss the chicken livers into the pan, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms, stir to combine and season with salt. Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushroom mixture is almost dry. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Transfer the cooled mushroom mixture to a medium bowl, add the goat cheese and chives and mix until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put the mushroom mixture in a disposable piping bag and reserve.
  • Using a paring knife or boning knife, make an incision in the thick end of each chicken breast. Insert the knife all the way into the chicken breast and slide it back and forth to create a pocket. Try not to poke the knife through the top or bottom of the chicken.
  • Squeeze the mushroom filling into each chicken breast.
  • In 3 separate wide, shallow containers, set up a standard breading procedure: one container of flour, one with the beaten egg mixture and one with the panko.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt. Using one hand for wet things and one hand for dry things, dredge each chicken breast in the flour. Dip in the egg wash and then pack panko onto each chicken breast. Lay the chicken breasts on a sheet tray and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Set up a tray lined with paper towels. Take the chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Work in batches if all the chicken breasts do not fit in the pan at the same time. Cook the chicken until well browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the browned chicken and blot it on the paper towels; season with salt immediately. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • When all the chicken has been browned and blotted, place the chicken breasts on a wire rack set over a sheet tray and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes more in the oven.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, ditch the fat from the pan and add the wine. Reduce the wine by half. Add half the chicken stock and reduce that by half. Add the remaining chicken stock and reduce that by half also (this will take a little time so be patient).
  • Taste the reduced stock and season with salt if needed. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter.
  • Plate the chicken and spoon the pan sauce over the chicken.

GOAT CHEESE AND HERB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Goat Cheese and Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skin-on boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg white
8 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon finely minced shallots
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Using a paring knife, make an incision in the side of each chicken breast, passing the knife though horizontally to make a slit but not cutting through the other side of the breast. With the paring knife inserted, rotate the knife to carve out a bit more space and create a pocket. Season the outside and inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl to break it up, then add the goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, shallots, mustard and lemon zest and mix until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag (or piping bag). Snip off a corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into each chicken breast until filled.
  • Heat the oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot and glistening. Add the chicken breasts skin-side down and cook until the skin turns a dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, garlic and thyme, then flip and transfer the pan to the oven; cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS



Ritzy Cheddar Chicken Breasts image

They're as good as they sound: cheesy chicken cutlets coated with buttery Ritz crackers. Skipping the usual flour-egg-bread crumb dredge, this recipe relies instead on a flavorful base layer of tangy sour cream, which has lactic acid that tenderizes boneless, skinless chicken breasts beautifully. When it comes to breaded white meat, thin cutlets are ideal, which you can buy from the store or achieve by slicing thick breasts in half horizontally (no pounding necessary). They cook more evenly this way, staying tender throughout as they're quickly baked in a hot oven. Serve with something fresh - a big green salad, perhaps - to balance the wonderful richness of this nostalgic number.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing wire rack
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 100 grams)
2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
  • In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
  • Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have Panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
  • To make the chicken breasts even more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before breading and baking.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
  • For a healthier version of this recipe, use whole-wheat bread crumbs and bake the chicken breasts instead of frying them.

Conclusion:

Breaded chicken breasts with cheese are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
