SIMPLE PAN-FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or a rolling pin, to tenderize the meat and ensure uniform thickness.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes or so.
• Heat a skillet over med-high heat, and add olive oil.
• When pan is sufficiently heated, sear chicken breasts over high heat.
• Allow about 2 minutes (until lightly browned) before turning to other side.
• Optional: Before serving, sprinkle grated cheese on chicken and broil for approx 5-10 mins (until cheese is melted).
• Serving suggestions: Serve this over pasta, or as chicken sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mustard/mayo.
• Personally I love this with fried rice too.

OVEN FRIED PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix flour, paprika, salt and pepper in a shallow dish, set aside. Place wire rack over a sheet pan, set aside.
• Rinse chicken and gently pat dry.
• Coat each chicken piece thoroughly in the flour mixture and place on the wire rack/sheet pan, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pre-heat oven to 425*F. Put butter into 9x13x2 baking dish (or a larger 18x12x2 roaster pan, depending on the size of your chicken portions) and place dish in the oven just until the butter melts.
• Once the butter has melted, tilt the baking dish around to evenly distribute the butter. Place coated chicken pieces SKIN SIDE DOWN directly into the hot, buttered baking dish (do not over-crowd).
• Bake, un-covered, for 35 minutes UNDISTURBED (it is not burning). Then flip chicken over and bake an additional 15 minutes. Check to be sure no pink remains and juices run clear.
• Remove chicken pieces to a platter and tent with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
