CORNMEAL-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE AND PEARS
Horseradish is an unsung hero in playfully fusing sweet flavors into savory dishes. This recipe starts with leeks and pears that are roasted in hot sauce, honey and vinegar. Next, chicken cutlets are breaded in cornmeal and Parmesan (bonus: it's gluten free) and the dish is finished with a creamy horseradish sauce. The result is a meal that's both comforting and unexpected. It's a great change of pace if chicken cutlets are a dinner staple in your household.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Top a baking sheet with a wire rack or line it with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the leeks, pears, olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine and place on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing the leeks and pears about every 10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, split each chicken breast in two horizontally, so you have 4 cutlets. Gently pound each breast with a mallet or bottom of a small heavy saucepan so it's thinner and even in thickness. Sprinkle the cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Whisk the eggs, 1 tablespoon of the prepared horseradish and 2 tablespoons water together in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Combine the cornmeal and Parmesan in a second shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip a chicken cutlet in the cornmeal mixture, then in the eggs, and then back into the cornmeal. Place on a plate or small baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
- Pour about 1 inch of the frying oil into a large skillet with high sides and place over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, working in two batches, fry the chicken until golden on the outside and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside on the prepared baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with kosher salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, remaining 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, remaining 1 tablespoon honey, remaining 1 tablespoon hot sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Whisk in half of the chopped chives. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon sauce onto the bottom of each serving plate. Top each with a chicken cutlet and roasted leeks and pears and sprinkle with chives. Enjoy!

HORSERADISH BREADED CHICKEN BREAST
This recipe is so quick to make, and the chicken comes out very moist and tender. The horseradish definitely gives a nice kick, but it's not too overpowering. The DH really loved it. The amounts I've listed here are not exact. Just make it to taste, and make enough to coat the chicken breasts.

Steps:

- Mix together horseradish, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, chives and thyme.
- Coat chicken breasts in the horseradish mix.
- Coat chicken breasts in bread crumbs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl whisk together mustard and mayonnaise until combined well.
- Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown chicken, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a shallow baking dish and pour off all but about 2 teaspoons oil from skillet.
- Add scallion to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in bread crumbs, horseradish, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread mayonnaise mixture on skin side of each chicken breast and top evenly with bread crumb mixture. Bake chicken in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until cooked through, and let stand 5 minutes.
Tips:
- When choosing chicken breasts, look for ones that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- To get a crispy crust on the chicken, make sure to coat it evenly in the cornmeal mixture.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry.
- The horseradish sauce is a great way to add a little bit of spice to the dish. You can adjust the amount of horseradish to your liking.
- The pears add a nice sweetness to the dish. You can use any type of pear that you like.
Conclusion:
Cornmeal-crusted chicken with horseradish sauce and pears is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the horseradish sauce adds a nice bit of spice. The pears add a touch of sweetness and make the dish even more delicious.
