SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS



Spicy Glazed Chicken Breasts image

This one-skillet chicken has a spicy, pleasantly tart and punchy glaze that's built on frying a little tomato paste in garlic- and almond-infused oil, then deglazing with lemon juice. It tastes like you sun-dried lots of tomatoes for weeks. (But you don't need to do that.) The final flourish is the crunchy fried almonds and garlic. You could skip them, but they add a special touch that belies how fast the dish comes together. Besides chicken, the dish also can be made with any other ingredient that browns well, like tofu or even broccoli.

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1½ to 2 pounds total)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sliced almonds
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste (preferably double concentrate)
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
  • Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
  • With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
  • Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.

Tips:

- To ensure evenly cooked chicken breasts, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches 165°F (74°C). - For a crispy and flavorful crust, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil for at least 30 minutes before baking. - If you prefer a moist and tender chicken, consider brining the chicken breasts in a salt water solution for several hours or overnight before baking. - To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the marinade or melted butter during the baking process. - For a smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade or basting liquid. - Elevate the chicken breasts on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to allow for even air circulation and crispy skin. - Experiment with different spice combinations to create unique flavor profiles. - Serve the baked chicken breasts with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad.
