Sesame Encrusted Chicken Breasts With Ginger-soy Sauce image

Serve this on a bed of steamed rice or couscous. Be careful when browning the chicken, not to let it burn. That's why it's finished off in the oven. Enjoy this wonderful recipe from Cooking with Caprial-American Bistro Fare!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 ounces each
salt and black pepper
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped gingerroot
1/2 cup wine, mirin (or any good rice wine)
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. For the chicken breasts, season chicken with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix sesame seeds and chile flakes and then dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat them. Heat vegetable oil in a large saute pan until smoking hot. Add chicken brests and brown each side well, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from pan and transfer to a baking pan. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken breasts are just cooked through.
  • For the sauce,while the chicken breasts are baking, heat veg. oil in the same pan you removed them from. Add the garlic and gingerroot and saute until you can smell the aroma, 1 to 2 minutes over high heat. Add mirin wine and boil over high heat until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and boil over high heat to reduce a bit, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • If the chicken breasts are finished cooking by this time, remove them from the oven and allow to stand. Add hoisin sauce and chile sauce to saute pan and bring to a boil. Season with sesame oil, basil, and soy sauce.
  • Serve chicken breasts over steamed rice or couscous. Serve half of the sauce over the chicken and the remainder on the side. This will not be a very thick sauce; it is meant to be thin and light. Enjoy!

SPICY GINGERSNAP ENCRUSTED CHICKEN BREAST



Spicy Gingersnap Encrusted Chicken Breast image

I quickly threw this recipe together one night as an experiment. It resulted in sweet-and-spicy crunchy-coated moist chicken breasts, which DH gobbled down and professed his gratitude. I believe this coating would also be nice on salmon filets, obviously adjusting the cooking time to 10-12 minutes instead of 25-30 minutes.

SESAME-COATED SAUTéED CHICKEN BREASTS



Sesame-Coated Sautéed Chicken Breasts image

Here is a classic recipe from Pierre Franey's "60-Minute Gourmet," one that happens not to take quite that long to cook at all. Sesame was a novel ingredient for him, he wrote in 1981, introduced to him by the cooking of "the late Virginia Lee, one of the finest Chinese chefs I have ever met. She used a lot of sesame oil and sesame paste in her flavorings, both in main courses and sauces such as that which accompanies a Mongolian hot pot." Mr. Franey used sesame seeds as a coating quite a bit after that - on fish fillets, for example - and here adapted the idea to a main course, using whole, skinned, boned chicken breasts. "The dish turned out admirably in texture and flavor," he wrote. Even better, "it is certainly easy to make, involving nothing more than coating the breast halves with the seeds and sauteing them briefly on both sides in butter. There is a final touch, a light 'sauce' made of hazelnut butter to which a dash of lemon juice is added." (By that, Mr. Franey meant butter that is browned until it is hazelnut in color.)

Categories     easy, quick, times classics, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1/4 pounds each, 2 pounds total weight
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup sesame seeds
7 tablespoons butter, approximately
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast half between slices of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the pieces on all sides in the sesame seeds.
  • Heat three tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet and add the breasts in one layer. This may have to be done in two steps, or you may use two skillets. If two skillets are used, double the basic amount of butter. Cook about five minutes on one side. Turn and cook on the second side about five minutes. Then transfer them to a heated serving dish.
  • Heat the four remaining tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add the lemon juice. Swirl the butter around until it is hazelnut brown. Pour this sauce over the chicken breasts and serve hot.

Tips:

  • To achieve a balance of flavors, use a combination of light and dark soy sauce in the ginger soy sauce mixture.
