Herb Crusted Chicken With Mustard Butter Recipes

MUSTARD HERB CHICKEN CUTLETS AND GARLIC SPINACH

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have 8 thinner chicken breast cutlets. Sprinkle both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the cutlets to a plate and set aside. Cook the remaining cutlets in the same manner.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the skillet and stir until golden brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine and allow it to simmer and reduce by half, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Stir in the mustard, followed by the chicken broth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the pan sauce with salt and pepper. Add the herbs and stir.
• Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, turning them in the sauce to coat and to rewarm them. Serve on top of the Garlic Spinach. Spoon more sauce from the skillet over them and garnish each plate with more fresh herbs.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the garlic and give it a quick stir. Add the spinach and let it cook down, turning often to bring the wilted pieces to the top, until softened, a minute or two.
• Cook until completely wilted, a minute or two more, then season the spinach with salt and pepper, as well as the lemon juice. Toss to evenly combine everything.

OVEN-BAKED HERB-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH PARSLEY OLIVE OIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In 2 large zip-top bags, divide half the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper between each bag. Place 6 chicken breasts in each bag. Seal bags and shake to coat. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess coating.
• Transfer chicken to baking sheet and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve 4 chicken breast halves with Parsley Olive Oil Sauce for this meal and refrigerate remaining chicken until ready to use.
• In mini-food processor, place parsley leaves. Drizzle in olive oil and process to combine. Add more olive oil until desired sauce consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon over chicken and serve.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Trim any fat off of chicken thighs and season with a light coating of adobo and pepper.
• Stir Dijon and melted butter together in a shallow bowl until you have a glossy, buttery mixture. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
• Dip chicken thighs in the Dijon mixture until evenly coated, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Transfer thighs to the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven without flipping until no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Garnish with parsley to serve.
