Grilled Chicken Paillard With Arugula Salad Recipes

CREAMY LEMON CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place beaten eggs in another shallow dish. Combine panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning and garlic powder in a third shallow dish. Working with one at a time, coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Transfer to the egg mixture and turn to coat. Transfer to the panko mixture and turn to coat. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the flour (it will be cooked later) in a small bowl. Discard any remaining flour, egg and panko mixture.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cutlets and cook, flipping once, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Reduce heat to medium and add another 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the remaining two cutlets and cook, flipping once, until golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake the cutlets until cooked throughout, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, lemon juice and salt to the pan. Bring to a boil. Whisk half-and-half into the reserved 1 tablespoon flour. Add to the broth mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by about half and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer the cutlets to a large platter. Drizzle with the sauce and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

• Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart, about 6-8 minutes. Drain the potatoes and immediately add them to the bowl with the shallots, garlic and vinegar; toss well. Drain the raisins and throw them into the bowl as well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of Sherry vinegar with the grainy mustard, honey, 2 teaspoons of chopped tarragon and the extra virgin olive oil.
• Brush the chicken breasts on both sides with a bit of oil, then season them with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped tarragon evenly over each (both sides).
• Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the chicken breasts until golden on each side and cooked through, about 2-4 minutes per side.
• To finish the salad, add the fennel, arugula and sliced almonds to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss with dressing to coat (you might not need it all-save any leftover for serving). Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place a chicken breast on each plate. Mound the salad over top. Crumble a nice amount of feta cheese over each, and serve with any additional dressing on the side.
