Best 9 Chicken Paillards With Fennel Red Pepper And Apricot Salad Recipes

CHICKEN PAILLARD

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts on a work surface using a meat tenderizer or heavy pan to 1/4-inch thick. Whisk wine, juice of 1 lemon, shallot, 2 teaspoons olive oil, and garlic together in a shallow bowl. Add chicken breasts; marinate for 15 minutes.
• Whisk juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lemon zest together in a large bowl; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to combine.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate, or heat a skillet over high heat.
• Remove chicken from marinade; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Cook chicken on preheated grill until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Plate chicken with arugula salad on top.

CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH FENNEL, RED PEPPER AND APRICOT SALAD

Steps:

• To make the chicken, split the breasts if they are joined in the center so that you have 4 pieces. Slice each piece in half horizontally to create 8 flat paillards. Place each paillard between layers of wax paper and pound them lightly so that they are of even thickness and no more than 1/4-inch thick. Place them in a large zip-lock plastic bag or a nonreactive bowl and set aside. Whisk together the oil, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken, seal or cover and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 4 hours.
• Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over high heat (or work in 2 batches if using 1 skillet). When the pans are hot, add the breasts and cook them just until nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes for each side. Transfer them to a platter and keep warm.
• To make the warm salad, add the tablespoon of olive oil to one of the skillets used to cook the chicken and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and fennel and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the wine, bell pepper, apricots, olives and anchovy and cook until the fennel is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve over the paillards.

CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH CREAMY PARMESAN SALAD

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.
