Its versatility allows for creative interpretations, resulting in a myriad of recipes that capture the essence of this beloved dish.

Our culinary journey into the world of chicken dressing begins with the **Classic Chicken Dressing**, a time-honored recipe that embodies the traditional Southern flavors. This classic iteration features a comforting combination of chicken, celery, onion, and sage, enveloped in a rich broth and baked to golden perfection.

Next, we venture into the realm of innovation with the **Cornbread Chicken Dressing**. This modern take on the classic incorporates cornbread, a Southern staple ingredient, into the dressing mixture. The result is a delightful combination of textures and flavors, with the cornbread adding a subtle sweetness and a delightful crumbly texture.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken from water and cool completely.
  • Combine the sugar and water in a medium-sized pot and boil for 5 minutes to make a simple syrup. In a blender puree the sambal, garlic, red pepper, fish sauce, salt, and lemon juice. Add the puree to the pot with the simple syrup. Simmer for 25 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of corn syrup. Store Basic Sauce in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. . Yield: 2 cups
  • In a blender combine the basic sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, oyster sauce, chili flakes, and garlic. While the blender is running add the vegetable oil in a slow steady stream. Once all the oil has been added continue to blend for 1 minute, until the dressing has emulsified. Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Yield: 1 cup

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 to 4 super salad suppers

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cutlets (sometimes marked "thin cut")
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, enough to just coat the breast slices
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, just eyeball it
Grill seasoning blend, or coarse salt and pepper
4 stems fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1 pound center cut bacon, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 pound fresh spinach leaves, trimmed and cleaned
8 gourmet white stuffing mushrooms, thinly sliced
8 radishes, thinly sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount, plus 1 tablespoons
1 large shallot, minced
3 rounded spoonfuls Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 pound boneless chicken breast cutlets
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, 2 splashes
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount
Grill seasoning, such as Montreal Seasoning by McCormick, or, coarse salt and black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped from stem and finely chopped
4 slices center cut bacon
1/4 pound fresh spinach, trimmed and cleaned
2 gourmet white stuffing mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 red radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced on an angle
1/2 shallot, chopped
1 /4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, just eyeball it
1 rounded spoonful Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Coat chicken with balsamic, oil, seasoning and rosemary and set aside. In a skillet, add chopped bacon, work in 2 batches if preparing salad for 4. Brown bacon over medium high heat, then transfer the bits to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Using center cut bacon will cut down on the pan drippings that spatter.
  • Coarsely chop spinach leaves and add to salad bowl. Top with mushrooms, radishes, scallions. Season salad with salt and pepper.
  • Wipe out the bacon pan and return to stove turning heat back to medium low. Add 1 tablespoon oil for your dressing and shallots and reduce heat to medium. Saute shallots for 3 minutes. Remove oil and shallots from heat.
  • In a bowl, combine mustard and balsamic vinegar. Stream in 2/3 cup oil slowly while whisking the dressing to emulsify it. Add warm shallots and toss with spinach salad to coat evenly. Add cooked bacon and toss again.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken cutlets, 4 minutes on each side, in a single layer. Slice breasts on an angle on your cutting board once they are all out of the pan. Pile spinach salad on to dinner plate/plates. Top each salad with 2 sliced chicken cutlet pieces. For individual portion follow the above method.

Tips:

  • For an optimal flavor and texture, use a combination of white and dark chicken meat.
  • Ensure the cornbread is not too sweet or dry. If store-bought cornbread is unavailable, consider making your own.
  • Opt for a flavorful broth with distinct taste, such as chicken or vegetable broth. Using plain water is not recommended.
  • Avoid overcooking the celery and onion; they should retain a slight crunch.
  • Use fresh herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary to enhance the flavor of the dressing.
  • If you prefer a crispy dressing, bake it uncovered for the final 15 minutes.
  • For a moist and flavorful dressing, cover it while baking.
  • To ensure even cooking, stir the dressing halfway through the baking time.
