Guy Cooks With Kids: Mikaela's Cranberry Apple Chicken Breast image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 large green apple, peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons salt, divided
2 teaspoons ground pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 to 10 ounces each)
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and allow to melt. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chopped apple. Stir in the lemon juice and honey with a spatula to coat the apples. Continue to cook until the apples are golden, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes. (If the apples get too brown, remove from the heat and set aside).
  • In another large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and allow to melt. While the butter melts, mix together the flour, 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper in a large bowl. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture until thoroughly coated. Carefully place the dredged chicken into the heated pan and brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to a baking sheet or oven-safe warming plate and cover with foil. Set aside.
  • In the same saute pan, add the chicken stock and apple and cranberry juices to deglaze the pan. Add the cinnamon stick. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt to the mixture, whisking to combine. Allow the sauce to reduce until it reaches a nice thick brown gravy consistency, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  • Add the cooked apples to the thickened sauce and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the cooked chicken breasts to the apples and gravy, to reheat briefly (about 1 minute). Plate the chicken breasts, top with the apples and sauce and sprinkle with the parsley.

PINEAPPLE-MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS



Pineapple-Marinated Chicken Breasts image

Bromelain, the group of enzymes in fresh pineapple, is excellent at breaking down the connective tissues in thick, fibrous chicken breasts. In this simple marinade, grated pineapple completely alters the texture of the breast meat, resulting in something that's akin to luscious dark meat. Briefly marinating here is important: Leave it too long and the chicken will fall apart during cooking, becoming shreddy and a little gluey. Fifteen minutes is the sweet spot. The accompanying pineapple salsa is a bright topping for the juicy morsels of aromatic chicken and rice.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup diced fresh pineapple (1/2-inch chunks)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh pineapple, including accumulated juices
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, garlic powder, ground cayenne and black pepper. Transfer 1 tablespoon of this marinade mixture to a separate medium bowl and add the diced pineapple, red onion and cilantro. This is your salsa; toss until well mixed and set aside.
  • Add the grated pineapple and its juices to the marinade mixture in the large bowl, then add the chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (and no longer).
  • Once the chicken is done marinating, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken pieces, leaving any marinade behind, in a single layer so that they don't touch and let cook until the bottoms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and no longer pink on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve the chicken over rice and top with the reserved pineapple salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple that is ripe but not overripe. A ripe pineapple will have a sweet, juicy flavor and a slightly yellow color.
  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make it easier to cook the chicken evenly and quickly.
  • Tenderize the chicken: To make the chicken more tender, you can pound it with a meat mallet or marinate it in a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and garlic.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and drying out.
  • Add the pineapple and cranberry sauce to the skillet: Once the chicken is cooked through, add the pineapple and cranberry sauce to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately: Cranberry Pineapple Chicken Breasts is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Pineapple Chicken Breasts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple and cranberry sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish can be served with rice, potatoes, or your favorite vegetables.
