Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
¼ cup jarred roasted red peppers - drained, patted dry and chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon dried basil
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders
1 cup Italian-seasoned panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
  • In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
  • Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

FREDS' CHICKEN SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING



Freds' Chicken Salad With Balsamic Dressing image

This salad is a perennial favorite at Freds, the glittery see-and-be-seen restaurant inside Barneys New York. The recipe calls for a whole roasted chicken, so you'll need to build in time to allow one to cool after roasting, or you can use leftovers or a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead. When prepping the vegetables and pear, make sure the pieces are more or less the same size. And remember to sprinkle the pear with lemon juice to keep it from discoloring, and cut the avocado just before serving. Precision never goes out of fashion.

Time 45m

Yield 4 main-course servings, or 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 4-pound chicken (or a store-bought rotisserie chicken, in which case skip to the dressing below)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon, quartered
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh pears diced in 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 large handfuls mixed greens, such as a boxed mix with fresh herbs
1 cup string beans cut in 1-inch pieces, blanched (from about 1/4 pound beans; see note)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup minced onion
2 ripe avocados, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Roast the chicken (if you're using a cooked, store-bought chicken, skip this step): Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a rack in a roasting pan. Rub 1 tablespoon salt around the inside of the cavity, then stuff it with the thyme, lemon and garlic. Tie the legs closed with cooking twine. Rub olive oil over the entire bird, and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon salt and the black pepper. Place on the rack and roast for 72 to 80 minutes. After 72 minutes, begin testing for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the leg, close to the bone. The chicken is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, remove the skin from the chicken. Use your hands to remove all the meat (remember, it will be hotter internally) and shred into 2-inch strips. If you're not going to make the salad for a few hours, place the meat in the refrigerator, but be sure to remove it and let come to room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes before serving, to bring out the best flavor.
  • Make the dressing: Place all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, until everything is combined. With the machine on low, slowly drizzle in the oil until dressing is emulsified.
  • Assemble the salad: Drizzle pears with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. In a large mixing bowl, combine pears, greens, beans, tomatoes, onion, avocado and half the chicken meat. Add some of the dressing and toss to make sure everything is lightly coated, adding more dressing if needed. Divide the mixture equally among 4 or 6 plates. Lay the rest of the chicken on top and serve immediately, passing the remaining dressing in case people want to add more.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons water
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cups mixed greens, washed and dried (or arugula)
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 firm plums
2 firm peaches
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Place chicken between 2 sheets plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Sprinkle breasts with salt and pepper. In deep dish, place eggs and stir in water. In another dish, place panko. Dredge each chicken breast in egg wash, let excess drip off and then place in panko. Coat both sides of chicken with panko and press so panko adheres.
  • In sauté pan over medium high heat, place butter and olive oil. Add chicken and cook about 10 minutes, turning once. Chicken should register 165° F on an instant read thermometer.
  • Remove chicken from pan and cut into slices.
  • On each of 4 serving plates, place greens and top with chicken. Add Caramelized Fruit and feta. Drizzle with Pomegranate Balsamic Dressing. Enjoy!
  • Caramelized Fruit:
  • Cut 2 firm plums and 2 firm peaches into halves to remove pits. If fresh fruit is unavailable, frozen may be used. Cut pitted fruit into 6 wedges. In saucepan over medium heat, place 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add fruit and cook 4 minutes on each side, just until fruit starts to turn brown and caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Pomegranate Balsamic Dressing:
  • In small saucepan over medium heat, place 3/4 cup pomegranate juice and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. Cook about 20 minutes, stirring often, until syrupy. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons orange juice and simmer about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil.

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Vegetable oil
All-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup whole milk
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 small shallot, finely minced

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 bunch watercress, trimmed
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves only
1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the dressing and salad: In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and lemon juice; let stand until milk thickens, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest, mayonnaise, shallots, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Place watercress, parsley leaves, and radishes in a large bowl. Toss to combine; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the chicken: Halve each breast horizontally. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until 1/4-inch thick. Remove from plastic wrap and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Fill a large high-sided skillet with enough vegetable oil so that it comes 1/2-inch up sides of skillet; heat over medium-high heat. Place flour and eggs each in separate shallow dishes. Place panko in a third shallow dish; add lemon zest and thyme and stir to combine. Season chicken with salt and pepper and dredge each piece first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated; shake off any excess.
  • Transfer chicken to hot oil and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack; squeeze lemon over chicken and season with salt.
  • Divide chicken among four plates. Top with salad and serve with dressing.

PARMESAN & PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN

This recipe was adapted from the recipe I found on the back of a Best Food Mayonaise jar. The mayonaise helps provide a moist piece of chicken and helps adhere the panko and cheese to the chicken. Feel free to add more/less of italian seasoning/garlic powder to taste. We are huge fans of garlic so I up the quantity used for our household.
