This cheesy broccoli chicken is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. By buying thin-sliced chicken cutlets, you save yourself the work of slicing them yourself, however feel free to cut regular-sized chicken breasts if you prefer.

CRISP STUFFED CHICKEN CUTLETS



Crisp Stuffed Chicken Cutlets image

The chef Alexandra Raij modeled this recipe on a traditional Spanish dish called flamenquines, in which flattened chicken breasts are stuffed with ham and cheese, then rolled up, coated in egg and bread crumbs and fried. Her recipe mostly follows that lead, but instead of pounding the breasts and rolling them up with the stuffing, she used thin cutlets of chicken and layered the stuffing between two of them, sealing them together with an egg mixture. Fried to a golden hue, the dish is both crunchy and greaseless. The crumbs insulate the delicate meat and help keep it from overcooking.

Time 25m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Dijon mustard
1 1/2 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese (1 1/2 slices)
1 1/2 ounces thinly sliced ham (1 1/2 slices)
3 tablespoons sauerkraut, packed, more for serving
3/8 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 cups plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, cornstarch, parsley and garlic until lumps dissolve and mixture is slightly foamy. Set aside.
  • Brush one side of each chicken cutlet with mustard. Divide cheese and ham among 3 cutlets and place on mustard side. Top each with 1 tablespoon sauerkraut and 1/8 teaspoon caraway seeds. Arrange remaining 3 cutlets mustard-side down on top of sauerkraut to sandwich the ham and cheese. Press to seal.
  • Dip stuffed cutlets in egg white mixture and dredge in bread crumbs. (You can do this several hours ahead and refrigerate until needed).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place cutlets in hot pan and fry until dark brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; serve hot, with additional sauerkraut on the side.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 (1/4-pound) pieces chicken scallopini (cutlets flattened to 1/4 inch thick)
1 large plum tomato, cut crosswise into 8 slices, discarding ends

Steps:

  • Stir together garlic, anchovy paste, parsley, 1/2 tablespoon oil, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and brown 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low and cover skillet, then cook until chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve with pan juices.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • For a crispy coating, dredge the chicken in flour before dipping it in the egg wash and bread crumbs.
  • Use a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese for a flavorful filling.
  • To prevent the cheese from leaking out, seal the edges of the chicken breasts with a toothpick or skewer.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature for a short period of time to ensure that the chicken is cooked through without drying out.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
