LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN WITH CHERRY TOMATOES



Lemon and Garlic Chicken With Cherry Tomatoes image

This is a summery dish to make in the middle of a cold winter (or early spring), but you can find decent cherry tomatoes even now, from Florida or from Mexico. I marinate the breasts in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and rosemary before I pound them. This makes them very flavorful, a great savory contrast to the sweet tomato topping.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced or pureed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (most weight 8 to 10 ounces)
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 heaped cups cherry tomatoes, - about 3/4 pound
Pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or a gluten- free flour such as rice flour or corn flour
2 tablespoons grapeseed, sunflower or canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if they weigh 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
  • Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you will not use all of it) and tap the breasts to remove excess.
  • Turn oven on low. Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until bottom is browned in spots. Turn over and brown other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. If there is more than a tablespoon of fat in the pan, pour some off into a jar or bowl.
  • Turn heat on burner down to medium-high. Add wine to pan and stir with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Add cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring often or tossing in the pan, until they begin to shrivel and burst. Add sugar and salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook, tossing the tomatoes in the pan and stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, until tomatoes have collapsed but are still intact. Top chicken breasts with the tomatoes, sprinkle with parsley and with Parmesan if using, and serve.

CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE WITH PENNE



Cherry Tomato Sauce with Penne image

The best ways to eat cherry tomatoes are as follows: plucked warm off the vine and eaten raw standing in front of the plant. Next best is raw, in some sort of salad. Third best is made into a sauce as I've done here. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 40m

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
14 ounces penne pasta
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Combine cherry tomatoes, oil, garlic, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until garlic is just toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth into tomato mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until tomatoes start to collapse and burst, about 10 minutes. Stir oregano and red pepper flakes into tomato mixture.
  • Puree tomato mixture with a stick blender until sauce is smooth.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot. Pour tomato sauce over penne and stir until pasta absorbs some of the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Tips:

  • Use ripe and flavorful cherry tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your sauce. Choose ripe, sweet, and juicy cherry tomatoes for the best results.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. It also helps to remove excess moisture, resulting in a thicker, more concentrated sauce.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality extra-virgin olive oil. It will add a rich, fruity flavor to the sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Every palate is different, so taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or lemon juice, depending on your preference.
  • Let the sauce simmer for a while: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. This will result in a more flavorful and complex sauce.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: This sauce is perfect for serving over any type of pasta. Some popular choices include spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni. You can also serve it over grilled chicken or fish.
