LEMON CHICKEN ALMONDINE



Lemon Chicken Almondine image

Actually, this recipe has a lot of Dijon mustard in it as well, which goes very nicely with the lemon flavor. You can vary the amount of Dijon or garlic to your taste.The original recipe called for 6 chicken breasts, but I made it with 2 (just for my daughter and me) with the original amount of sauce. I thought this amount turned out to be perfect for just the 2 chicken breasts.(I probably like it saucy!) I'm sure you could double the recipe, although you probably wouldn't want to double the olive oil. If you are using a reduced salt chicken broth you might want to add a teeny bit salt. Cooking time includes marinating time.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups blanched slivered almonds
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 cleaned sole fillets (6 ounces each)
1 large or 3 small shallots, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.

FISH ALMONDINE



Fish Almondine image

From when I was expecting my first baby, Alex, to well past the birth of my second child, Paige, I used to meet my grandmother, Ga-Ga, at Luby's Cafeteria in my hometown for lunch on an almost monthly basis. Luby's had a mega-long (it seemed like a football field, but probably wasn't quite) serving line of prefilled small plates holding such comfort foods as Jell-O salad, macaroni and cheese, Salisbury steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and slices of pie as far as the eye could see. But for me, the single most memorable dish at Luby's was their gloriously consistent Fish Almondine. No matter which seventeen sides I selected (okay, sometimes it was eighteen), Fish Almondine was always the main course for me. This is my best attempt to re-create the Luby's magic. (I love and miss you, Ga-Ga.)

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
8 chicken breast halves, boned
1/2 cup chablis or 1/2 cup other dry wine (apple juice may be used as a subsitute)

Steps:

  • Saute almonds in butter in a large skillet over medium heat until lightly browned.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon, reserving butter in skillet.
  • Set almonds aside.
  • Combine flour, rosemary salt and pepper.
  • Dredge chicken in flour mixture.
  • Brown chicken in reserved butter over medium-high heat 4 minutes on each side.

  • Remove chicken to a serving platter, reserving juices in skillet.
  • Set chicken aside and keep warm.
  • Bring juices to a boil; stir in reserved almonds.
  • Spoon almond mixture over chicken.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better quality your ingredients are, the tastier your dish will be. Look for organic, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken or almonds, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent hot spots. This is especially important when searing the chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Lemon Chicken Almondine is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy, and the sauce is still flavorful.

Lemon Chicken Almondine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
