CRISPY GARLIC BREADCRUMB CHICKEN



Crispy Garlic Breadcrumb Chicken image

While not identical to a pan-fried, breaded cutlet, if you want to eat tender, flavorful chicken with lots of crispy, crunchy bits, then this significantly less-messy method is for you. One of the keys to this technique is to use panko breadcrumbs, which are much larger and more jagged than regular, fine breadcrumbs. This method also allows us to introduce some additional flavor, and moisture, thanks to the 'glue' we use to attach the crumbs.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup panko bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic, finely crushed
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup chicken broth
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
  • Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
  • Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.

CRISPY GARLIC CHICKEN CUTLETS



Crispy Garlic Chicken Cutlets image

Adapted from Cook's Illustrated. Over the years, America's Test Kitchen has perfected a method for making crispy chicken cutlets: coat the cutlets in flour, dip in egg wash, then coat with fresh breadcrumbs before pan-frying. But when you add fresh garlic to the mix for more flavor, you also get more problems.Try this recipe, it has it all-mellow, caramelized garlic flavor from the chicken on the inside, and a crispy, garlicky crust on the outside. Look for cutlets that are between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch thick or make your own by slicing 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts in half horizonally.

CRISPY CURRIED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH A LOT OF CABBAGE



Crispy Curried Chicken Cutlets With a Lot of Cabbage image

Eric Kim's ultra-crispy curried chicken cutlets and cabbage slaw come together for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner.

Provided by Eric Kim

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ lb. (about 3 cups) green cabbage, cored and as thinly sliced as possible
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 oz. each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 cup panko bread crumbs, plus more as needed
1 ½ tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the cabbage: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup water, the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the cabbage and toss until well coated. Set aside.
  • Make the kkasseu sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  • Make the chicken cutlets: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap (or in a large resealable plastic bag) and pound them with a rolling pin until they are flat and uniformly ¼-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • On a large plate, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. On another large plate, stir together the panko, curry powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper. Set the chicken on the first plate and smother both sides with the mayo-mustard mixture. Then transfer chicken to the second plate and press down, flipping and pressing down multiple times to ensure even panko stickage on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add one of the chicken cutlets and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and fry on the second side until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the second cutlet.
  • To serve, divide the cutlets between two plates and pour the kkasseu sauce over each cutlet. Divide the quick-pickled cabbage between the two plates and add some white rice alongside

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the cutlets easier to prepare and cook.
  • Pound the chicken breasts or thighs until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help the breading stick to the chicken.
  • Dip the chicken in eggs. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken in breadcrumbs. You can use plain breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumbs.
  • Pan-fry the chicken in hot oil. Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels. This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy garlic chicken cutlets are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the breading is crispy and golden brown. Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
