Provided by Namiko Chen

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 chicken tenders
kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)
freshly ground black pepper
8 oz spaghetti
½ onion
3 cloves garlic
6 slices applewood smoked bacon
5 sprigs thymes ((fresh))
6 mushrooms
10 cherry tomatoes
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
½ lemon ((squeezed))
kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Gather all the ingredients.
  • Pound the chicken tenders with meat pounder to flatten them. Season them with salt and pepper. Diced onion and bacon into small pieces and slice garlic.
  • Start boiling water to cook pasta in a large pot. When the pasta is cooked, drain water but please remember to keep ½ cup of the water that was used to cook the pasta. Set aside if the pasta sauce is not cooked yet.
  • Meanwhile in a large frying pan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Fry the chicken on both sides until slightly browned. Transfer onto a plate and set aside.
  • In the same frying pan, sauté the onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the bacon and cook until onions become translucent.
  • Add the thyme and mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms become soft.
  • Add the tomatoes, cream, butter, and lemon juice. Bring it to a simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you add bacon, it's already salty so be careful not to make it too salty (keep in mind the pasta will make the sauce more bland). Remove from heat.
  • By this time pasta is cooked already, so add the pasta in the pan and toss it in the creamy sauce. Slowly stir in the pasta water to loosen up and thin out the sauce.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and toss lightly so that chicken will warm up. Serve the pasta on the serving plates, top with the chicken and sauce. Garnish with arugula and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI



Chicken Scallopini image

While many have heard of veal scallopini, you can make this Italian dish with most any meat or even vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style -- i.e., a venison demi if using deer. You can 'fake' a demi-glace by reducing an appropriate brown stock and adding a water and flour slurry to thicken. Makes an awesome romantic dinner for two.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic, pressed
¼ cup butter, softened
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces sliced mushrooms
20 capers, or to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons chicken-flavored demi-glace, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 lemon slices

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
  • Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
  • Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
  • Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken Scaloppini with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut in half horizontally and pounded lightly to make 8 scaloppini
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 ounces capers, drained
1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
Juice of 1 lemon plus 2 lemons, cut into supremes, for garnish (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large shallow dish and season with the salt and pepper. Pat the chicken scaloppini dry with paper towels, then put them in the flour, coating the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook, in batches if needed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack-lined sheet tray.
  • Reduce the heat under the same cast-iron skillet and add the onion, garlic and rosemary. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and capers and scrape the skillet as the butter melts to deglaze. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Add the chicken pieces back to warm through and allow the sauce to reduce, another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
  • Garnish with the lemon supremes and serve.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon image

In order to make this chicken scaloppine, you'll first make a paillard, which just means you'll flatten the thighs by pounding them with a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet. That broadens the surface area of the meat, which in turn browns and becomes crisp during cooking. It's delightful with this simple and bright lemon and white wine sauce.

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

About 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
Salt
Black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs, or more as needed
3 eggs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Slice each chicken thigh open like a book and lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each piece of chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Put two large skillets over medium-high heat for a minute or 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put the flour and bread crumbs on two plates or in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to each skillet and swirl it around. When it is hot - a pinch of flour will sizzle - dredge a piece of the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the eggs and finally dredge it in the bread crumbs. Add the chicken piece to one of the pans, then repeat with another piece in the second pan. (You may be able to fit more than one paillard in each pan at a time.)
  • Cook the chicken, rotating occasionally and regulating the heat if necessary so it sizzles constantly but doesn't burn. When the pieces are brown, after about 2 minutes, turn them over.
  • Cook on the second side until the chicken is firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. (Cut into one with a thin-bladed knife; the center should be white or slightly pink.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and put it in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil and butter to each skillet as necessary.
  • When all the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat under one of the skillets. Add a tablespoon or 2 more oil or butter to the other pan if it looks dry and sprinkle the fat with 2 teaspoons of the remaining flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir and scrape the pan until the wine has reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a bit syrupy, another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan around until it melts. Add any juices that have accumulated around the cooked chicken, along with the 1/4 cup parsley. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
