Lemon-Sage Chicken Cutlets image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs
Juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs sage, leaves only
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Warm Farro Salad, recipe follows, or other grains, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 2 thin cutlets. Sprinkle lightly with water, place between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour some flour into a shallow dish and season with salt. Lightly beat the eggs with the lemon juice in another shallow dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the lemon-egg mixture, coating both sides. Add the cutlets to the skillet and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add the sage leaves to the skillet, then turn the cutlets and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the cutlets and sage to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Pour out any remaining oil from the skillet. Add the wine and chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl until melted.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter. Top with the fried sage and drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and grains on the side.
  • Toss 2 cups cubed winter squash and 1 pint cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet; roast at 425 degrees F until tender, 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup farro or barley in a saucepan with 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a bay leaf and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the farro (remove the bay leaf) and toss with the squash, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 tablespoons each chopped parsley and grated pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.

BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 slices white bread or 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs*
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
About 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, beaten
4 boneless skinless chicken breast, each about 6 ounces
1/3 to 1/2 cup oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make bread crumbs: Trim the crust off the bread and discard, tear bread into pieces. Spread bread out on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute to dry out the bread. (Alternately, spread the bread out on a baking sheet and dry in a preheated 300 degree F oven for 22 to 25 minutes.) Pulse the dried bread or crumbs in a food processor with the thyme, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • With the flat side of a cook's knife or the smooth side of a meat-pounder, pound each breast to equal thickness. Put the flour, eggs, and the bread crumbs each separately in 3 shallow dishes. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the breast through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess fall back into the bowl. Finally, lay the chicken in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press it into the breading to coat. Lay on a piece of waxed paper.
  • Heat a large skillet (12 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the oil. Lay 2 chicken breasts smooth-side down in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining 2 breasts. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Place all 4 breasts on a rack over a baking pan and bake until firm to the touch, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
  • Serving suggestion: Lemon wedges, thyme sprigs for garnish .

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through but not overcooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is done by cutting into it. The juices should run clear, and the meat should be opaque all the way through.
  • To make the citrus-cherry sauce, you can use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • You can also add other fruits to the sauce, such as oranges, grapefruit, or pineapple.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water or chicken broth.
  • To make the chicken cutlets even more flavorful, you can marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You can also sprinkle the chicken cutlets with breadcrumbs or Parmesan cheese before pan-frying them.
  • Serve the chicken cutlets with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

These chicken cutlets with citrus-cherry sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
