Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-6 chicken thighs ((I used boneless skinless), or 4 chicken breasts pounded to even thickness)
2 tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (OR ½ teaspoon each dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme)
½ cup juliened sun dried tomatoes ((they come in a jar packed with oil, be sure to drain excess oil))
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half and half (or heavy cream, (use heavy cream for a thicker, creamier sauce!))
⅔ cup shaved or shredded parmesan cheese + ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese for topping ((or more to taste) )
fresh basil or thyme, for topping
salt and pepper to taste ((I use about 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper))

PARMESAN CHICKEN BREAST WITH TOMATO AND HERB SALAD



Parmesan Chicken Breast With Tomato and Herb Salad image

For better weeknight chicken, dredge it in flour loaded with freshly grated Parmesan and shallow-fry it. The cheese works to create a sort of frico, so you don't need bread crumbs for a deeply flavorful crust. While you could make this entirely on the stovetop, you risk overcooking the Parmesan, and under- or overcooking the meat. Instead, finish it in the oven, which yields a juicy, tender breast and keeps the Parmesan from getting too dark. Serve with perfectly ripe beefsteak and cherry tomatoes, jumbled together with salt and herbs and a splash of vinegar to make the tomatoes pop.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds ripe beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes, cut into wedges (or halved if small)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon sherry or cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning
6 ounces Parmesan
1 cup flour
2 large eggs, well beaten
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast, halved (about 1/2-inch thick)
3 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Toss together tomatoes, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl, and set aside. Heat the oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the lowest position.
  • Make the chicken: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Finely grate half the Parmesan on a box grater. Grate the remaining half on the larger side of the box grater. Add both to a shallow bowl along with 1/2 cup flour, and whisk together. Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in another shallow bowl, and the beaten egg in another.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken breasts, one at a time, into the flour. Shake off any excess and dip into the eggs, turning to coat evenly. Shake off the excess and dip into the Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere and holding the chicken gently by the ends to keep the coating intact. Transfer to the lined baking sheet.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in your largest ovenproof skillet. When the oil is shimmering, lay the chicken breasts in the pan, in batches if needed. Cook without moving until the coating on the bottom is deeply golden brown and releases easily from the pan, 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully flip the breasts and cook until the other side is just golden on the outside, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the skillet to the oven (or transfer the chicken to a separate baking sheet if needed for space) and cook until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees, 4 to 6 minutes more, depending on the thickness of each breast.
  • Sprinkle the herbs over the tomatoes, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; serve alongside the chicken.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 medium red onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup plain yogurt
1 6- to 7-pound roasting chicken
2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pulse the onion, parsley, cilantro, tarragon, 2 tablespoons dill, the walnuts and garlic in a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste; pulse until smooth.
  • Stir half of the herb paste with the yogurt in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
  • Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Loosen the skin with your fingers; rub some of the remaining herb paste under the skin and the rest on the outside of the bird. Truss the chicken. Place in a roasting pan; roast until the skin turns golden, about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Baste the chicken with the drippings and add the tomatoes, cut-side down, to the pan. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 155 degrees, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper; let the chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.
  • Arrange the chicken and tomatoes on a platter; sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons dill. Serve with the yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripened tomatoes have an intense flavor, which will translate to a more flavorful sauce.
  • Sear the chicken: Searing the chicken helps to lock in the juices and create a crispy texture. Make sure to sear the chicken over medium-high heat and only move it when it easily releases from the pan.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for 15-20 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Add a splash of cream: Adding a splash of cream to the sauce just before serving will make it extra rich and creamy.

Conclusion:

This Chicken in Tomato Herb Cream is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is flavorful and creamy, and the herbs add a touch of freshness. Serve this dish over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a complete meal. The combination of flavors will make this a dinner to remember!
