Crispy Chicken Cutlets With Lemon Rosemary Butter Sauce Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH LEMON ROSEMARY BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the flour, eggs, and panko bread crumbs into three separate bowls. Be sure to whisk the eggs to combine the whites and yolks. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Using a medium to a large skillet, heat the canola oil on medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken cutlets through the flour and shake off excess, then the egg mixture, and finally the panko bread crumbs on both sides.
• Place in the hot skillet and cook on each side for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Once the cutlets are cooked, turn to a wire rack and sprinkle with a little more salt and black pepper. Place in the oven on warm until ready to serve.
• Using a medium shallow saute pan, heat the olive oil for the sauce on low to medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Next, add the white wine and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add the juice of a lemon (remove the seeds), capers, and rosemary. Reduce the heat to simmer. Next, add the cold butter allow it to melt, and simmer. Whisk in the heavy cream until sauce is well combined. Strain the sauce into a serving dish ( I didn't want to strain my sauce but that is up to you). Add salt and pepper as desired and serve on top of the chicken cutlets.

MOM'S SUPER THIN AND CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl. Set aside until ready to fry.
• In a food processor, pulse the breadcrumbs with the parsley, pecorino, granulated garlic and salt until just incorporated. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow dish.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise. On a sturdy cutting board, place a piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or other blunt object, pound the chicken into a flat piece about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat 1 cup olive oil to 350 degrees F in a 14-inch cast-iron pan with the garlic cloves. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Working in an assembly line, dredge the cutlets in the egg and then the breading. Double-bread by going back to the egg wash and back into the breading. Add the first piece of breaded chicken to the preheated oil along with 1/2 stick butter. Once the butter is mostly melted, add another piece of chicken. Fry until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is reached, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add more oil and butter to the pan as needed while you fry the rest of your batches, allowing the oil to come back to heat between batches. Rest on the wire rack.
• Meanwhile, preheat a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot, then place the lemon halves, cut-side down, directly in the pan and allow to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Reserve for garnish.
• Place the chicken cutlets on a large platter and garnish with freshly grated pecorino, parsley leaves and caramelized lemon halves.
