LOVERS' CHICKEN (A TAKE ON CHICKEN PICCATA)



Lovers' Chicken (A Take on Chicken Piccata) image

Six years ago, my best friend Rebecca frantically called me from the grocery store. She was preparing for the daunting task of cooking dinner for her new crush, Mark, and wanted a recipe that was impressive yet easy, and so mouth-wateringly delicious that it would sweep him off his feet. I instantly thought of my rendition of my Grandmother's famous chicken piccata. Rebecca nervously scratched the recipe onto a crumpled receipt, and that night gave it her best shot. Fast forward to the present, Rebecca and Mark are now happily married, and that piece of receipt paper with the recipe on it hangs in a frame on their living room wall. This recipe always brings people together, eating, drinking and enjoying quality conversation. This is my grandmother Anita's legacy! You can taste her love and passion in every bite!

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings (or 2 with leftovers)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large eggs
2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 small breasts, or 2 large)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups hot water
1 1/2 packets (6 grams) instant granulated chicken bouillon, such as Herb Ox, or 1 1/2 chicken bouillon cubes
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs together in a shallow dish. Put the breadcrumbs into a separate shallow dish.
  • If necessary, trim the chicken breasts and butterfly them if they are very thick.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a deep nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip the chicken cutlets in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs, making sure they are fully coated.
  • When the oil is hot, cook the chicken pieces just until they are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon oil as needed. You do not want to cook the chicken all the way through at this point, just create a nice crust on the outside. Once the chicken cutlets are browned, place them on a plate and set aside.
  • Put the butter in the same skillet you cooked the chicken in and melt over medium-low heat (do not clean the pan first). When the butter melts, add the shallots, garlic and some black pepper and cook until they soften and get slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet with the shallot mixture.
  • Put 1 1/2 cups hot water in a liquid measuring cup and stir in the chicken bouillon until dissolved. Pour the bouillon over the chicken, then add the lemon juice. Sprinkle with half of the parsley and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer on medium-low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You want the chicken to stew in the liquid until it breaks apart easily with a fork--no knives needed!
  • Remove the lid and simmer the liquid until it thickened and reduced by about half, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste the sauce and season with salt and black pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

LOVER'S CHICKEN



Lover's Chicken image

This is a wonderful dish if you love cheese along with chicken. I cooked this for my wife when dating and now on romantic evenings as I find it seems a perfect "lovers dinner" to me. So it is a cheesy chicken that is very tender and is also accompanied with a slight beef flavor, just enough to touch your palate, I love it and hope you do, it is fairly quick and fairly simple but makes anyone enjoying it think it took the day to fix! :-)

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 chicken breasts
2 (8 ounce) packages cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) jar chipped beef
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
cotton string

Steps:

  • Take your chicken, you may wish to buy split or you will have to split them yourself and clean very well, I cut any fat off and remove all skin, this is optional to you but I find it does make a difference.
  • After cleaning your breast set them aside in the refrigerator and turn oven to preheat at 350°F
  • While the oven is preheating you will need to get out your block of cheddar cheese and start cutting it into strips, keep them the length of the block but make them thin enough to pack into the split breast as you will place a few in each one.
  • After doing this you need to take your block of cheddar, you may use sharp, and cut it into small blocks so you may melt on the stove top or microwave if you wish (I use the stove as you must constantly stir).
  • After done please take your breast out and open them up as wide as you can then place two or three pieces of the chipped beef in each one with the beef open up.
  • Once done please take your slices of cheese and place inside along in a row until you find it looks cheesy enough for you or until closes comfortably. I have tied this before so you may wish to as well.
  • Take a casserole dish and put your olive oil in the bottom and let it lightly coat, as it would prevent sticking from cheese but puts a hint of taste as well.
  • Put your chicken in casserole dish and Place in the oven. Now get ready to prepare your sauce :-) Take a 4 quart pot and place your cream cheese in, over medium heat stir constantly.
  • When it is melting good start adding your pre-cut blocks of sharp cheddar.
  • As it starts to get a medium orange look at the time on your chicken and at this point your sauce will be done once all is melted.
  • Please note that once you start your sauce it will be finishing about the same time as your chicken and may be turned down if needed be but caution quick burning on it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. For a rich, creamy sauce, use a soft cheese like Brie or Camembert. For a sharper, more tangy flavor, use a hard cheese like Parmesan or cheddar. Cream cheese, sour cream, or yogurt can also be used to create a creamy sauce.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, frying, grilling, and roasting. Each cooking method will produce a different flavor and texture, so experiment to find the one you like best. Chicken breasts can be pounded thin and pan-fried for a quick and easy meal, while chicken thighs can be roasted in the oven for a more flavorful result.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The best way to tell if chicken is cooked through is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add vegetables to your dish: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to your chicken dish. Some good choices include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add herbs and spices to your dish for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Cheese lovers chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. There are many different ways to make cheese lovers chicken, so you can easily find a recipe that suits your taste and budget.
