Best 6 Panko Crusted Chicken With Watercress Salad And Buttermilk Dressing Recipes

BUTTERMILK PANKO-CRUSTED OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in buttermilk, thyme, cayenne, and garlic powder for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix the panko crumbs with the all-purpose seasoning. Panko bread crumbs really make this chicken, so don't substitute if possible.
• Without rinsing the chicken, dredge in beaten egg, then bread crumb mixture.
• Place breaded chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Spray chicken with a little non-stick spray.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until coating is crispy and juices run clear.

PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil and coat foil with cooking spray. Set aside. Pour buttermilk into a medium bowl. In another medium bowl combine panko, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Dip chicken pieces into buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Coat chicken pieces in panko mixture and place, bone-side down, in prepared pan. Coat tops of chicken pieces with cooking spray.
• Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F). Do not turn chicken pieces during baking.

PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH WATERCRESS SALAD AND BUTTERMILK DRESSING

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.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE BALSAMIC DRESSING

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.
