CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH CREAMY PARMESAN SALAD

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 46m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, whipped slightly with splash milk
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 anchovy fillets
2 egg yolks*
2 clove garlic, smashed
2 lemons, juiced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup organic grape tomatoes, halved
1 bag fresh baby arugala
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, boccancini, halved
Shaved Parmesan, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • For the chicken:
  • Begin by pounding out the chicken breast gently between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
  • Prepare a breading station with flour, whisked eggs and milk, and panko crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Coat the breasts in flour, egg then panko. Lay the coated breasts out on a flat tray and refrigerate to let the crust dry out (about 10 minutes) this will ensure there is less moisture and less chance your coating will break when frying.
  • Shallow fry the paillard in hot oil for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on how thick the breasts are. Drain well, season with salt and set aside when done.
  • For the dressing:
  • Put the anchovies, egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice, and water into a blender and process for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth. With the blender running, pour the olive oil in slowly for the dressing to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan, season with salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper; set aside. (Refrigerate the dressing if you will not be using it right away.)
  • Prepare the salad by splitting the grape tomatoes in half through the middle lengthwise, mixing all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and toss the salad well.
  • To serve lay the warm, crispy chicken paillard on the base of the plate and top with the salad. Garnish with shaved parmesan cheese, a wedge of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • *RAW EGG WARNING
  • Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs
  • Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds, pounded thin
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 ears corn, kernels stripped

Salt and ground black pepper
1 medium yellow tomato, diced
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Mix mustard and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a shallow dish. Cut each chicken breast in half (lengthwise, so you have two thin filets) and place in the mustard mixture. Turn to coat both sides and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet, add onion and sauté on low a few minutes, until softened. Add corn, chile and squash and continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, fold in tomato, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and set aside.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, dust with flour and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining oil in a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan on medium-high heat and sear chicken, turning once, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes a side. Arrange on a serving platter. Add cooking oil to salad, fold in cilantro and spoon over and around chicken.

CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken Paillard with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Similar to chicken piccata, this recipe is easy yet delicious. "Paillard" is a French technique of pounding meat flat before cooking. It works well for chicken breasts because they become tender and cook more quickly, before they get a chance to dry out. (Bonus: more surface area to drench with a delicious lemon-caper sauce.)

Provided by Michael Ruhlman

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided (optional), preferably Maille brand
Chopped tarragon leaves (optional), about ¼ cup
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or another neutral oil
1 large shallot
4 lemon wheels, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons capers, drained

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken breasts: Lay the chicken between two large sheets of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet or heavy sauté pan, pound each breast to a ½-inch thickness. Salt each breast liberally, sprinkling from a height to ensure even distribution, then season with pepper. Flip each breast and season the other side. If using mustard and tarragon, spread about 2 teaspoons of mustard and 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves on one side of each breast.Spread flour onto a dinner plate. Dredge breasts by coating them completely with flour, then shake off any excess. (They should be lightly dusted.) Set aside. Repeat with remaining breasts.
  • Pan-fry chicken: Place skillet over high heat. While it's heating, trim, halve, and peel the shallot. When the skillet begins to smoke, add oil. When the oil begins smoking, gently place the chicken breasts in the pan in an even layer, so that they do not overlap. (You may need to work in batches if your skillet is smaller.) Allow them to cook undisturbed until they are nicely browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Do not move the chicken around while it cooks, or the crust will stick to the pan. Meanwhile, mince the shallot.After the first side is browned, flip the breasts and finish cooking, 2-3 minutes. (Depending on the strength of your range, you may need to turn the heat down so the flour doesn't burn.) When they are just cooked through and have only a little give when pressed with a finger, 6-8 minutes total, transfer them to a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced shallot and stir with a wooden spatula. Add the lemon wheels and a pinch of salt; stir, but do not flip the lemons (they'll caramelize better if left to cook on one side). Scrape up any bits of flour and fat at the bottom of the pan. Once the shallots are caramelized and the lemons have begun to brown, about 2-3 minutes, add the wine and stir. When about half the wine has cooked off, turn the heat to high. Add the butter to the pan one tablespoon at a time, shaking and moving the pan continuously until all the butter has melted and emulsified into the sauce. Add the capers, stir, and remove pan from heat. Transfer chicken to a platter, then spoon the sauce over each breast. Arrange lemon wheels on top and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients and equipment are prepped and ready to use. This will make the cooking process smoother.
  • Pound the Chicken Thin: Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/4-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the Chicken Over Medium Heat: Cook the chicken over medium heat to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Make the Clementine Salsa: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the clementine salsa. Combine clementines, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and honey in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the Chicken with Salsa: Serve the cooked chicken breasts topped with the clementine salsa. You can also serve it with additional sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken paillards with clementine salsa offer a delicious combination of flavors and textures. The tender and juicy chicken pairs perfectly with the bright and tangy salsa, creating a dish that is both refreshing and satisfying. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a gathering, this recipe is sure to impress.
