THE BEST CHICKEN CUTLETS



The Best Chicken Cutlets image

When we set out to create the best cutlets, we sought perfectly tender chicken that was flavorful and juicy -- not tasteless and dry -- with a crisp, breaded exterior that stayed put and didn't get soggy. After trying different methods, we found that a mix of panko and Pecorino Romano creates the salty, crunchy crust we crave, while dried spices in both the flour and breadcrumb mixtures ensure that our cutlets are never bland.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise making 8 roughly equal pieces. (They should look like large chicken tenders.) Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Set up a standard breading station: mix the flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, if using, in a shallow dish.
  • Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish.
  • Mix the panko, Pecorino-Romano, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat it on both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken back to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Line a clean baking sheet with a clean wire rack. Heat 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the clean wire rack, season with salt and hold in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 4 batches in total.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS



Chicken Breasts With Tomatoes and Capers image

This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS AND APPLES



Sheet-Pan Sausages With Caramelized Shallots and Apples image

In this rustic sheet-pan dinner, apples and shallots roast slowly alongside pork sausage, becoming fragrant and caramelized in the process. A quick toss with whole-grain mustard and apple cider vinegar adds a savory edge, making the apple and shallot mixture almost reminiscent of chutney. This recipe works equally well with both sweet and hot pork sausage, as well as any crisp apples, though a mix of red and green apples looks particularly nice. Serve with French green lentils and a green salad, with plenty of Dijon mustard on the side.

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, sausages, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 shallots, trimmed on both ends and peeled (about 6 ounces)
2 crisp apples (preferably one tart, like Granny Smith, and one sweet, like Fuji)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausages
3 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the shallots lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the shallots and apples on a sheet pan, drizzle with the 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, until the shallots are just starting to brown at the edges.
  • Meanwhile, place the sausages on a plate. Using a fork, prick a few holes in each sausage. Drizzle the sausages with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Add the rosemary and mustard to the pan with the apples and shallots, and toss, spreading everything out into one even layer. Arrange the sausages on the pan, evenly distributed, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the apples and shallots with the juices released from the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked to 160 degrees and the shallots are tender and caramelized.
  • Transfer the sausages to a serving platter and discard the rosemary sprigs. Pour the vinegar over the apples and shallots, and toss well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Transfer to the serving platter with the sausages, sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Chicken Cutlets: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken cutlets of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. If using thicker cutlets, consider pounding them to an even thickness.
  • Tenderizing the Chicken: To further enhance the tenderness of the chicken, try marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Achieving a Crispy Crust: Dredge the chicken cutlets in seasoned flour before pan-frying. This helps create a golden, crispy crust while keeping the chicken moist and succulent inside.
  • Regulating the Cooking Temperature: Maintain medium heat while pan-frying the chicken to prevent burning. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure a gradual, even cooking process.
  • Cooking Asparagus to Perfection: Trim the asparagus spears and cook them briefly in boiling water or steam them until tender yet still slightly crisp. Overcooking can make them mushy.
  • Adding Flavorful Ingredients: Incorporate capers, shallots, and lemon juice to elevate the flavors of the dish. Capers provide a tangy, briny touch, while shallots add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor. Lemon juice brightens the overall taste profile.
  • Creating a Creamy Sauce: Combine chicken broth, white wine, and cornstarch to create a smooth, flavorful sauce. Simmer until thickened and season to taste.

Conclusion:

This delectable dish of Chicken Cutlets with Asparagus, Capers, and Shallots offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Tender chicken, crisp asparagus, tangy capers, and aromatic shallots come together in a creamy sauce, creating a satisfying and versatile main course. Whether served for a special occasion or as a comforting weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to impress. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients and careful attention to cooking techniques elevates this dish beyond the ordinary, making it a true culinary delight.
