CHICKEN CUTLETS "SALTIMBOCCA" WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SAGE



Chicken Cutlets

This is really an excuse for me to combine two of my favorite dishes: chicken cutlets and saltimbocca. The piney sage leaves and salty prosciutto give the cutlets a real boost of energy and flavor. I like to use finely ground breadcrumbs, and when I have time on my hands, I might even bread them twice (just bread them again in the same manner after the first time). I love biting through that layer of breading and then getting the lemon and red wine vinegar on the one hand and the prosciutto and sage on the other.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Four 6-ounce boneless chicken breast halves, sliced in half, pounded very thin
Kosher salt
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
4 slices prosciutto
12 fresh sage leaves, stemmed
2 large cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Juice from 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Prepare the cutlets: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt. Put the eggs and breadcrumbs into two separate wide shallow bowls. Dip each chicken cutlet in the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Shake any excess off each one. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
  • Cook the sage and prosciutto: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Tear 2 of the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and add to the oil in the skillet. Cook over low heat until crispy, 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto. Remove the prosciutto from the skillet and add the sage leaves. Cook until they turn pale in color and become crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Season with salt. If the skillet looks dry, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir the garlic into the oil and season with salt. Allow the garlic to simmer in the warm oil for about a minute to cook off the raw flavor. Transfer the garlic and oil to a medium bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or fit with a wire rack.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until it smokes lightly. Working in batches, add the chicken cutlets to the pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked cutlets to the baking sheet. Season with salt. Place the baking sheet in the oven to keep the chicken warm. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • Make the vinaigrette and finish the dish: Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl with the reserved garlic and oil. Taste for seasoning. Arrange the cutlets on a serving platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the sage leaves and prosciutto.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (8 to 10 pieces), pounded about 1/4 inch thick, if needed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 cups plain dried breadcrumbs (about 8 ounces)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh sage, plus fried leaves for garnish

  • Heat about 1 inch oil in a large skillet until it reaches 365 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, transfer chicken from the buttermilk mixture to the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides completely. Gently place in the hot oil. Cook, turning halfway through with tongs, until crisp and dark golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack or paper towels to drain. Transfer to a baking sheet, and put in oven to keep warm. Remove any bits of coating from skillet with a slotted spoon, and discard before adding more chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken. Garnish with fried leaves.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium garlic cloves, sliced thin
15 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup chicken stock or 1 cup low-sodium canned chicken broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 slice prosciutto, diced fine (1/4-inch thick, about 1 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • For the Chicken Cutlets: Generously season both sides of each breast with salt and pepper and dredge one at a time in flour placed in a shallow dish; shake gently to remove excess flour; set aside.
  • Heat butter and vegetable oil in 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat, swirling to melt butter. When foam subsides and butter begins to color, place cutlets in skillet, skinned side up. Reduce heat to medium-high and sauté without moving until nicely browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Turn cutlets over and cook on other side until meat feels firm when pressed and clotted juices begin to emerge around tenderloin, 3 to 4 minutes. Leaving fat in skillet, transfer cutlets to plate, cover loosely with foil and keep warm in 200-degree oven while preparing the sauce.
  • For the Sauce: Set skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sage leaves; sauté until garlic is fragrant and sage crisps, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add lemon juice and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet with wooden spoon. Add chicken stock, increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 8 minutes. Off heat, swirl in butter and add prosciutto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over cutlets; serve immediately.

LEMON-SAGE BREADCRUMBS



Lemon-Sage Breadcrumbs image

There isnt always day-old bread around when you need crumbs for chicken cutlets or fish fillets. When you do have stale bread, make a few seasoned blends and freeze them.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 loaf (8 ounces) day-old bread, crusts removed and bread cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
5 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Working in two batches, pulse bread cubes in a food processor to fine crumbs. Stir together breadcrumbs, zest, and sage. Stir in the salt, and season breadcrumbs with pepper.

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.
  • Choose Thin Chicken Cutlets: Using thin chicken cutlets will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a Meat Mallet: Pounding the chicken cutlets with a meat mallet will help tenderize them and make them more receptive to the marinade.
  • Make the Marinade in Advance: The longer the chicken cutlets marinate, the more flavorful they will be. You can marinate them for up to 24 hours, but even 30 minutes will make a difference.
  • Cook the Chicken Cutlets Over Medium Heat: Cooking the chicken cutlets over medium heat will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the chicken cutlets from sticking and make them easier to flip.
  • Serve the Chicken Cutlets Immediately: Once the chicken cutlets are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Lemon sage chicken cutlets are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon, sage, and garlic creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to please everyone. Serve the chicken cutlets with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
