Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 radishes
3 Persian cucumbers, or any small cucumber
3 medium tricolor carrots
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 lemon
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Two 5- to 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 packet ranch seasoning
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup canola oil
1 bunch dill
1 bunch parsley

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the radishes, cucumbers and carrots lengthwise using a mandoline or a very sharp knife. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Zest and juice the lemon. Combine the zest, juice and shallot in a mason jar or other jar with a tightly fitting lid and add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix, then add the olive oil. Screw on the lid and shake to combine. Set aside.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast in two horizontally so you have a total of 4 thin cutlets.
  • Now it's time to make your dredging station. Get out three pie pans, shallow bowls or plates with deep sides. Place the flour and ranch seasoning in one pie plate and whisk to combine. Crack the eggs in the second bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water and whisk to combine. Place the panko in the final pie pan.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working in an assembly line, place a chicken cutlet in the flour mixture and turn to coat both sides; tap off any excess. Place the cutlet in the egg wash and coat both sides. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shiny, add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Place on a cooling rack to drain off any excess oil and keep the cutlets nice and crispy.
  • Drain off any excess water from the veggies and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add 1 cup
  • fresh parsley leaves and 1/2 cup dill leaves. Drizzle in the lemon dressing and toss to combine.
  • Congrats, it's time to plate! Place each cutlet on a plate, top with veggies and enjoy!

MOM'S SUPER THIN AND CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS



Mom's Super Thin and Crispy Chicken Cutlets image

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus whole leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 6- to 8-ounce chicken breasts
2 cups olive oil
4 large or 6 small cloves garlic
1 stick unsalted butter
2 lemons, halved

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl. Set aside until ready to fry.
  • In a food processor, pulse the breadcrumbs with the parsley, pecorino, granulated garlic and salt until just incorporated. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow dish.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise. On a sturdy cutting board, place a piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or other blunt object, pound the chicken into a flat piece about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Heat 1 cup olive oil to 350 degrees F in a 14-inch cast-iron pan with the garlic cloves. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
  • Working in an assembly line, dredge the cutlets in the egg and then the breading. Double-bread by going back to the egg wash and back into the breading. Add the first piece of breaded chicken to the preheated oil along with 1/2 stick butter. Once the butter is mostly melted, add another piece of chicken. Fry until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is reached, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add more oil and butter to the pan as needed while you fry the rest of your batches, allowing the oil to come back to heat between batches. Rest on the wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot, then place the lemon halves, cut-side down, directly in the pan and allow to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Reserve for garnish.
  • Place the chicken cutlets on a large platter and garnish with freshly grated pecorino, parsley leaves and caramelized lemon halves.

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 CHICKEN CUTLETS



Crispy Chicken Cutlets image

A streamlined take on a family-favorite that makes it even more suited for busy weeknights: a 15-minute marinade in yogurt tenderizes the chicken cutlets, while also acting as a 'glue' for crunchy panko breadcrumbs. The cutlets cook quickly in the frying pan and then are ready to be topped with a lemon-y mixed green salad and devoured.

Provided by Shira Bocar

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 cups panko
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 cups trimmed greens, such as arugula, Little Gem lettuce, watercress, or a combination
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Butterfly and pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Combine chicken and yogurt in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss with tongs until chicken is well-coated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours). Coat chicken with panko, patting to adhere.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Add half of chicken; cook, rotating with tongs for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a wire-rack-lined baking sheet; season with salt. (Remove and discard any bits of coating with a slotted spoon before cooking second batch.) Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Place greens in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with cutlets and lemon wedges.

CRISPY RANCH "FRIED" CHICKEN



Crispy Ranch

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
Coarse salt and pepper
1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon roughly chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
Cayenne pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 pound)
Salad greens, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, stir together panko and oil. Spread in an even layer, and bake until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate, wipe sheet, and fit with a wire rack.
  • On a separate plate, combine yogurt, thyme, garlic, pinch of cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat chicken with yogurt mixture then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere. Shake off excess and place on rack. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 17 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool 5 minutes. Slice and serve over salad greens.

Tips:

  • For the crispiest cutlets, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about 1/2-inch thick. If your chicken breasts are thicker, you can pound them out to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
  • To make the breading mixture, use panko breadcrumbs for a crispy texture. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but they will not be as crispy.
  • Season the breading mixture with plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Dredge the chicken cutlets in the buttermilk mixture, then coat them in the breading mixture. Make sure the chicken is coated evenly.
  • Cook the chicken cutlets in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken cutlets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy ranch chicken cutlets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun party appetizer. With a crispy coating and a flavorful ranch seasoning, these chicken cutlets are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
