ZESTY CHICKEN SAUTé



Zesty Chicken Sauté image

In a recent Cookbook Swap, I received some STELLAR cookbooks from Chef #22015. This recipe is from one of them. "Cheap. Fast. Good!" by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross. What a wonderful book! This recipe is now one of my favourites. The chicken is perfectly spiced, in my opinion. I love the ease of preparation! You may need to increase the spice mixture though (if you like it thick like I do!). I made up a batch of the spices and when it was gone, I simply made up another half recipe of it. Worked out perfectly with no waste!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice (optional)
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves (defrosted if frozen)
vegetable oil, for frying (about 1 tbsp)

Steps:

  • Place the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt (if using) and allspice (if using) in a gallon-size zipper-top bag and seal the bag. Shake the bag to combine the spices thoroughly. (NOTE: I usually omit the onion powder and put in about a 1/2 tsp lemon pepper. I like that the best!).
  • Place the chicken breast halves, one at a time, between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and pound them with several whacks of a meat mallet or rolling pin so that they are an even 1/2 inch thick. Peel off the paper. (Each serving should be about 6 ounces, so if the breast halves are large, cut them in half lengthwise.).
  • Place the chicken pieces in the bag with the spices, seal it, and shake until the chicken is coated with the spice mixture. Set the bag aside.
  • Heat the oil in an extra-deep 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, another 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve.
  • A salad would be great alongside. My family's favourite is Deep Browned Potatoes (Recipe #47957) and corn.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose the right pan: A good sauté pan should be large enough to accommodate all of your ingredients without overcrowding, but not so large that the food is lost in it. A 12-inch pan is a good all-purpose size.
  • Heat the pan properly: Before adding any ingredients, make sure the pan is nice and hot. This will help prevent the food from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the food will not cook evenly and will likely end up steamed rather than sautéed.
  • Stir regularly: Stirring the food regularly will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help it cook evenly.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the food with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before serving. A little bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, can also help to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Sautéing is a quick and easy way to cook a variety of foods. With a little practice, you'll be able to master this cooking technique and create delicious meals that the whole family will enjoy.
