Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large chicken cutlets (thin sliced)
1 cup flour
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoon olive oil
2 large oyster mushrooms (stems removed and sliced)
3/4 cup fontina cheese
4 slices prosciutto
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)

Steps:

  • Grate fontina cheese. Clean and slice oyster mushrooms into 1/2" strips. Preheat oven to 375f and set rack to middle.
  • In an oven safe pan heat 1-2 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil (enough to coat pan) on medium heat. Pat dry chicken cutlets and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge cutlets in flour and shake off excess. Pan sear the cutlets for 2 minutes per side then remove cutlets and set aside. If required work in batches adding another Tbsp of butter and olive oil to second batch.
  • In the same pan saute mushrooms over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until brown. Use a touch more oil and butter if the pan is dry. When mushrooms are finished remove and set aside.
  • Turn heat to high and add the 3/4 cup chicken stock and 3/4 cup white wine. Cook for 5 minutes to let the sauce reduce. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge all brown bits. Add in 1 Tbsp of butter to the sauce and stir to combine.
  • Turn heat off and place the chicken in the pan. Top chicken with 1 slice of prosciutto per cutlet. Next, place the mushrooms on top and finally evenly distribute the fontina cheese. Spoon a touch of the sauce on top of each cutlet and place pan in oven to finish cooking.
  • Remove the chicken valdostana when the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Enjoy!

CHICKEN BREAST VALDOSTANA WITH BRAISED LENTILS



Chicken Breast Valdostana with Braised Lentils image

Provided by Lidia Bastianich

Categories     Chicken     Poultry     Bake     Braise     Legume     Lentil     Fall     Prosciutto

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Braised Lentils with Spinach
6 medium (about 7-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
6 thin slices imported Italian prosciutto (*see note below)
All-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup chicken stock or canned reduced sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup seeded and crushed canned Italian tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces Italian Fontina cheese, sliced thin
2 tablespoons tomato sauce or additional seeded and crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare the braised lentils with spinach through step 1.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Trim any excess fat, skin, and cartilage from the chicken pieces. Place a piece of prosciutto over each chicken breast, trimming and layering each so it covers the chicken breasts as neatly as possible. Using the back of a large knife, gently pound the prosciutto into the chicken so it adheres. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour to coat them lightly and tap off any excess flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil in a 12- to 14-inch skillet with an ovenproof handle until the butter is foaming. Place in the skillet as many of the chicken pieces, prosciutto side down, as will fit without touching. Cook just until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. (Overcooking will toughen the prosciutto.) Turn the chicken and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Repeat, if necessary with the remaining chicken breasts, removing the browned chicken to make room. Adjust the heat as you work so the chicken doesn't burn or stick in places.
  • Pour the wine into the skillet and shake gently to dislodge any brown bits that stick to the pan. Boil until reduced by half. Pour the chicken stock into the skillet and distribute the crushed tomatoes and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in between the pieces of chicken. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce is simmering, tilting the skillet to mix the sauce. Drape the sliced Fontina over the chicken pieces to cover them completely. Dot the center of each chicken breast with a small circle of tomato sauce or a small mound of crushed tomatoes and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Place the pan in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, the sauce is bubbling, and the cheese is lightly browned around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is in the oven, finish the braised lentils.
  • Very carefully remove the pan to the stovetop and let stand a minute or two before serving.
  • Spoon a mound of lentils onto the center of a warm dinner plate, Top with a chicken breast and spoon some of the sauce around the lentils.
  • *Ask for the prosciutto sliced slightly thicker than paper-thin. You will need six slices if each slice is roughly the same size as a chicken breast. Buy more or fewer slices as necessary.

Tips:

  • Sear the chicken breasts to perfection: Make sure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly and have a golden brown crust before setting them aside. This will lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Use ripe tomatoes for the sauce: Fresh, flavorful tomatoes are key to a delicious sauce. If you can, use vine-ripened tomatoes for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it has thickened slightly, but be careful not to overcook it or it will lose its vibrant flavor.
  • Layer the chicken and sauce in a baking dish: Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish and then top with the tomato sauce. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and bake until golden brown: Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce and then bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and browned.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken Valdostano is best served immediately, while it is still hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Chicken Valdostano is a classic Italian dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and melted cheese, it's a dish that is both delicious and satisfying. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight meal, Chicken Valdostano is sure to be a hit.
