ALMOND CRUSTED CHICKEN

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unblanched almonds
1 1/2 teaspoons Spanish pimenton or paprika
2 large eggs whites
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
5 cups mesclun salad greens

Steps:

  • Finely chop the almonds in a mini-chopper or food processor. Transfer the nuts to a shallow dish and stir in the paprika. Lightly whisk the egg whites in another shallow dish. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, letting the excess fall back into the dish. Then press both sides of the chicken into the nuts to coat. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set the crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place rack on a baking sheet.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the butter. Place the chicken smooth-side down in the pan and then raise the heat to medium-high. Cook turning once, until the nuts set and turn golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer meat to the prepared pan and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk the vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing. Add the salad greens and toss to coat evenly. Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates, top with the chicken and serve.

Created by: Ellie Krieger cookbook author, "So Easy: Luscious Healthy Recipes for Every Meal of the Week"

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 orange
2 eggs whites
3/4 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all purpose flour
4 pieces thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 1 pound total)
Cooking spray
1/2 small bulb of fennel, halved, cored and thinly sliced into half-moons (about 1 cup)
4 cups arugula, lightly packed, coarsely chopped if leaves are large
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 F degrees. Ten minutes before you are ready to cook the chicken, put a baking sheet in the oven to pre-heat.
  • Finely zest the orange and set the zest aside. Cut the top and bottom off of the orange, sit the orange on one end on a cutting board and cut the entire peel and pith off by cutting downward following the shape of the fruit. Then, using a paring knife, remove each section of orange from the membrane. Set the orange sections aside.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. In a large shallow bowl or on a plate, combine the orange zest, almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Put the flour on a large plate.
  • Remove the pre-heated baking sheet from the oven and spray with cooking spray.
  • Dip the chicken breasts, one at a time, first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg white, and then coat with the almond mixture and place on the baking sheet. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray. Bake for 6 minutes, turn and bake for 6 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden.
  • While the chicken is cooking, combine the fennel, arugula and orange sections in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
  • To serve, place one large or two small chicken cutlets on each plate and top with a mound of the salad.

Almond Crusted-Chicken with Scrumptuous Beuerre Blanc

Almond Crusted-Chicken is a delightful dish that combines the delightful crunch of almond with the juicy tenderness of chicken. The almond crust is a unique and appetizing addition, providing a delightful contrast in both texture and taste. The aromatic herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage enhance the overall savory profile.

For the beurre blabe, we bring together the richness of white wine, butter, and shallots. The velvety smooth texture envelops the chicken perfectly, creating a symphony of flavors.

Here are some culinary tips to elevate your cooking experience further:

  • Selecting the Right Almond: Select fine almond meal or even finely ground almond for a more refined texture in the crust.
  • Herb Infusion: When making the beurre blabe, infuse the white wine with herbs such as rosemary or tarragon for an extra layer of savory goodness.
  • Golden Brown Crust: Achieve an even golden brown crust by carefully watching the temperature of your skillet. Cook over medium heat to prevent the almond crust from being overly crispy, spoiling the overall dish.
  • Buttery Goodness: Use high-quality unsalted butter for the beurre blabe to achieve a rich, luxurious texture that enhances the taste of the entire dish.

In conclusion, Almond Crusted-Chicken with Scrumptuous Beuerre Blanc is a dish of culinary art that will tantalize your tastebuds with its delightful combination of crispy almond crust, succulent chicken, and velvety beurre blabe. By following these simple tips, you can create this dish in your own kitchen and impress your family and friends.
