This elegant dish is perfect for special occasions, yet easy enough for weeknight dinners. The process involves lightly pounding the chicken breasts into thin cutlets, then searing them in a hot skillet until golden brown.

Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 2 to 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
1/4 cup minced or sliced shallot
Segments and juice of 2 lemons
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock

Gradually stir in remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons butter until just melted. Season to taste.

CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH SAUTEED MUSHROOMS



Chicken Paillard with Sauteed Mushrooms image

Many years ago, I needed fresh cèpes for a job. When they were delivered, it was obvious there had been some horrible, grievous misunderstanding. I had ordered two pounds and they had delivered twenty! I called and they promised to pick them up the next day. However, my boss at the time was not the sort to take imperfections lightly. This may sound deceitful, but the truth is, it wasn't worth trying to explain. I just needed to make them go away. So I had eighteen pounds and over $600 worth of mushrooms to hide-no easy feat! It was like hiding a skunk, a deliciously intoxicating skunk, but a skunk nonetheless.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to slightly over 1/4 inch thick (see page 112)
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, chanterelle, morel, shiitake, or white button), sliced
1 ounce dried cèpes, reconstituted and liquid reserved (see below, optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • To cook the chicken, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon each of the oil and the butter over medium-high heat until very hot. Working with 2 pieces at a time, dredge both sides of the chicken in flour, then shake off the excess flour. Without crowding, add the 2 pieces to the skillet, and brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter, and chicken.
  • To make the sauce, pour all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat. Decrease the heat to medium. Add the wine, using a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms, cèpes and strained liquid, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon the mushrooms over the chicken and serve immediately.
  • Called cèpes in French, and porcini in Italian, Boletus edulis mushrooms are extremely rich, with an earthy, assertive flavor. They are found only in the wild and not commercially farmed; their incredible flavor and limited supply bestow an intoxicating allure similar to that of black truffles. They are available fresh in season, but are available frozen or dried throughout the year. To plump and reconstitute dried mushrooms, place the mushrooms in a heatproof container. Pour over boiling water and let rest until plump and rehydrated, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms to a cutting board. Coarsely chop and set aside for later use. Strain the soaking liquid through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter and reserve as a very flavorful cooking liquid.

CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken Paillard with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Similar to chicken piccata, this recipe is easy yet delicious. "Paillard" is a French technique of pounding meat flat before cooking. It works well for chicken breasts because they become tender and cook more quickly, before they get a chance to dry out. (Bonus: more surface area to drench with a delicious lemon-caper sauce.)

Provided by Michael Ruhlman

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided (optional), preferably Maille brand
Chopped tarragon leaves (optional), about ¼ cup
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or another neutral oil
1 large shallot
4 lemon wheels, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons capers, drained

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken breasts: Lay the chicken between two large sheets of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet or heavy sauté pan, pound each breast to a ½-inch thickness. Salt each breast liberally, sprinkling from a height to ensure even distribution, then season with pepper. Flip each breast and season the other side. If using mustard and tarragon, spread about 2 teaspoons of mustard and 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves on one side of each breast.Spread flour onto a dinner plate. Dredge breasts by coating them completely with flour, then shake off any excess. (They should be lightly dusted.) Set aside. Repeat with remaining breasts.
  • Pan-fry chicken: Place skillet over high heat. While it's heating, trim, halve, and peel the shallot. When the skillet begins to smoke, add oil. When the oil begins smoking, gently place the chicken breasts in the pan in an even layer, so that they do not overlap. (You may need to work in batches if your skillet is smaller.) Allow them to cook undisturbed until they are nicely browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Do not move the chicken around while it cooks, or the crust will stick to the pan. Meanwhile, mince the shallot.After the first side is browned, flip the breasts and finish cooking, 2-3 minutes. (Depending on the strength of your range, you may need to turn the heat down so the flour doesn't burn.) When they are just cooked through and have only a little give when pressed with a finger, 6-8 minutes total, transfer them to a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced shallot and stir with a wooden spatula. Add the lemon wheels and a pinch of salt; stir, but do not flip the lemons (they'll caramelize better if left to cook on one side). Scrape up any bits of flour and fat at the bottom of the pan. Once the shallots are caramelized and the lemons have begun to brown, about 2-3 minutes, add the wine and stir. When about half the wine has cooked off, turn the heat to high. Add the butter to the pan one tablespoon at a time, shaking and moving the pan continuously until all the butter has melted and emulsified into the sauce. Add the capers, stir, and remove pan from heat. Transfer chicken to a platter, then spoon the sauce over each breast. Arrange lemon wheels on top and serve immediately.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small red bell peppers
2 small green bell peppers
4 small heads garlic, lightly smashed so that the cloves break apart but the heads remain intact
2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
4 4-ounce boneless, skinless half-breasts of chicken
1/2 cup rich fowl glaze (see recipe)
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 French or Italian baguette, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

Steps:

  • Roast the bell peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler until charred on all sides. Place in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let stand for 10 minutes. Peel, stem, core, seed and derib the peppers. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the garlic heads in a small casserole dish with a lid. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Cover and roast until garlic is soft, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Set aside, covered.
  • Meanwhile, place the chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to a 3/8-inch thickness. Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and saute until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside. Add the glaze to the skillet and cook until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  • Place the bread rounds on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees until light brown and crisp. Place 1 chicken paillard on each of 4 plates, spooning the glaze on top.
