Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken
1 drizzle olive oil
kosher salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 pinches herbes de Provence, or to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
½ cup chicken stock, or to taste

Steps:

  • Slice off 1/2 of each chicken wing by cutting through the joint where the wing meets the drumette. Slice through the skin between the thighs and breasts. Make a shallow cut along the breast bone and 2 deep cuts on either side, separating the breasts.
  • Slice each breast off the carcass using the tip of the knife, keeping the blade pressed against the bone. Cut through the cartilage to remove breast with the wing attached.
  • Remove the tenders and trim as needed. Season with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and cayenne pepper.
  • Push your finger gently under the skin of each breast, right next to the wing bone, to separate it from the meat. Slide 1 tender under the skin, center it, and smooth over the skin. Sprinkle salt over breasts.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, skin-side down. Cook until bottom is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip, reduce heat to medium, and cook until no longer pink on the inside, 7 to 10 minutes more. Add 1 tablespoon butter, rosemary, and thyme. Baste chicken with the butter. Remove chicken from the skillet.
  • Pour stock into the pan; increase heat to high. Boil until reduced to desired thickness, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and whisk in remaining butter. Slice each chicken breast into thirds and spoon the pan sauce on top.

PAN-SEARED AIRLINE CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS, POMEGRANATE AND HARICOT VERTS



Pan-Seared Airline Chicken Breasts with Israeli Couscous, Pomegranate and Haricot Verts image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, cut airline-style (See Cook's Note)
Kosher salt
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups Israeli couscous
1/2 pound haricots verts, ends trimmed
Pinch dried red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil. While the oil heats up, season the chicken breast with salt on both sides. Add the chicken to the preheated oil, skin-side down. Sear on the first side until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip to the other side, place the skillet in the oven, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • While the chicken finishes cooking, bring about 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan and season with salt to taste (if needed). Add the couscous, return the stock to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Set a large bowl of ice water on the counter. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and add enough salt so it tastes like the ocean, then add the haricots verts. Blanch the beans until they are bright in color and al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the beans and immediately add them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, then transfer the beans to paper towels to dry.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and set the skillet back on the stovetop. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board. Turn the heat back on under the skillet and deglaze the pan with the remaining chicken stock and the red pepper flakes. Bring the stock to a boil and taste, seasoning with salt if needed.
  • Toss the warm couscous with the beans, 2 tablespoons of pomegranate seeds, the pomegranate molasses and the chopped chives. Serve with the chicken breast and drizzle the pan sauce over the top.

LORE'S PAN ROASTED CHICKEN BREAST



Lore's Pan Roasted Chicken Breast image

This delicious recipe was given to me by my aunt. Note: As of Nov 3, 2008, I've revised the recipe and directions so as to make them more clear on the advise of one of the reviewers. I've added an approximate weight to the 6 chicken breasts. As far as the pan goes, my favourite pans are well seasoned cast iron as they tend to be relatively nonstick and go from stove top to oven readily.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for air-chilled, free-range, and organic chicken breasts. These are generally considered to be of higher quality and have a better flavor.
  • Preheat your pan: This helps to create a sear on the chicken and lock in the juices.
  • Use a little bit of oil: This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a golden brown crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you have too much chicken in the pan, it will not cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted airline chicken breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can create a perfectly cooked chicken breast that is moist, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pan-roasted airline chicken breast a try. You won't be disappointed!
