Sauteed Chicken With Tonnato And Arugula Recipes

LEMON PARMESAN CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA SALAD TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs, the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest and thyme, and set aside.
• Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper until they are 1/4 inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the prepared flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl. In a 1-cup glass measure, whisk together the 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well.
• Pile some arugula on top of each hot chicken breast. With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the chunk of Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on top of the arugula.

STUFFED CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, sage and milk and season with salt.
• Butterfly each chicken breast, cutting horizontally into the thickest part of the breast almost all the way through to the other side (keeping the breast attached on one side). Open each breast like a book and pound to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick using the flat side of a meat mallet. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place a spoonful of the ricotta mixture in the center of each chicken breasts, then fold the chicken over to enclose the filling. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices prosciutto, overlapping them slightly. Wrap each chicken breast in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Unwrap the chicken breasts and place on a rimmed baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Drizzle with EVOO, then bake until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the chicken bakes, heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the panko and thyme and cook, stirring, until the panko is golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Divide the chicken among plates. Arrange the arugula alongside the chicken and top the arugula with the tomatoes and garlic breadcrumbs.
• Cook's Note: The stuffed chicken breasts can be refrigerated for up to 2 days before cooking.

CHICKEN TONNATO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in skillet, skin-side down, until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip; cook 1 minute. Remove chicken; add vegetables. Reduce heat to medium low; cook 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add wine, and bring to boil. Stir in the herbs, capers, and tuna; add the chicken. Transfer skillet to oven, and roast until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken; transfer to cutting board.

FLATTENED CHICKEN WITH CANTALOUPE AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Mix the cantaloupe, oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and chili. It should be a little spicy.
• Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and place between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a heavy meat pounder, evenly flatten each piece to 1/4-inch thick. Brush the chicken with oil, season with salt and set aside for at least 5 minutes.
• Place a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces in batches to avoid crowding and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook for 30 seconds. (This side may not seem cooked through, but it will continue to cook as it sits.) Lay the finished pieces side by side on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the cooking juices over the chicken. Serve topped with arugula, cantaloupe and cantaloupe juices (or with squashed tomatoes and their juices).
