Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 chicken breast fillets, flattened to 1/4-inch-thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (15.5 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
1 to 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream (or more to taste)
One 4-ounce chunk Parmesan, to shave
2 tablespoons finely minced parsley

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the bag and smush everything together. Seal and refrigerate.
  • For the red pepper sauce: Melt the butter and add the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the red peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot.
  • Add the broth (if you like a thicker sauce only add 1 cup broth, for a thinner sauce add 2 cups broth), salt and pepper and stir until heated. Splash in the cream.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Place on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers). You can serve the sauce right away or cool it and bag it up.
  • When ready to cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes a side.
  • Heat up the red pepper sauce in a pan. Serve everyone a piece of chicken, spoon some sauce over each piece, and garnish with Parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables alongside.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 quart buttermilk
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili de arbol powder, or 2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 chickens (3 to 4 pounds each), cut up into 8 pieces each
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
Peanut oil, for deep-frying
Honey-Pink Peppercorn Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup honey
2 teaspoons pink peppercorns, toasted and coarsely chopped
Grated zest of 1 lime
Juice of 2 limes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons salt and the chili de arbol in a large bowl or large baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
  • Stir together the flour, garlic and onion powders, paprika and cayenne in a large baking dish. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Pull the chicken out of the buttermilk, gently shaking off any excess liquid. Dredge the pieces a few at a time in the flour mixture and pat off any excess. Then dip back into the buttermilk and allow any excess to drain off. Dredge again in the seasoned flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a baking rack set over a baking sheet while the oil heats.

  • Working in batches, add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time, and fry, turning the pieces occasionally, until evenly golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack to drain; repeat to cook the remaining pieces.

CHICKEN WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE



Chicken With Green Peppercorn Sauce image

This recipe was from Cooking Light magazine, which stated it originally came from the cookbook "French Women Don't Get Fat". My wife and I cooked this up for the first time the other night and absolutely loved it! A great pepper flavor, and the chicken was tender and juicy! It is a slight variation of recipe #275890. We used dry sherry as I did not know which white wines were considered "dry".
