TUSCAN CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH WHITE BEANS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds thin-cut chicken cutlets
Kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, undrained
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Mix the flour with 2 teaspoons rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the buttermilk in another shallow bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir to make clumps. Dip the cutlets one at a time in the flour, then in the buttermilk, then back in the flour again to make a shaggy coating. (You should use all of the flour mixture.) Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the garlic is lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the cannellini beans and their liquid, 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes; add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook until deep golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Stir the parsley into the beans and divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken to the plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken cutlets are evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken cutlets in the breadcrumb mixture. First, dredge them in the flour, then the eggs, and then the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly into the chicken so they adhere well.
  • To make sure the spicy white beans and kale are flavorful, use a variety of spices and herbs. Cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper are all great choices. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, at the end of cooking for a pop of freshness.
  • If you don't have any kale on hand, you can use another leafy green, such as spinach or arugula.
  • Serve the chicken cutlets with the spicy white beans and kale immediately. You can also top them with a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
