Best 5 Chicken Paillards With Tomato Basil And Roasted Corn Relish Recipes

CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH HERB-TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill with a hot fire.
• Toss the tomatoes, garlic, scallion, the 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Add all the herbs to the bowl but don't toss.
• Brush the chicken paillards lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Stir the herbs into the tomatoes. Put a paillard on each of 4 plates, spoon some herb-tomato salad on top (watch out for the smashed garlic-you might want to remove it), and serve.

ROASTED TOMATO AND BASIL RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in 1-quart casserole. Bake until tomatoes are soft, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature.

CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH TOMATO, BASIL, AND ROASTED-CORN RELISH

Steps:

• For relish * Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush rimmed baking sheet with 1 teaspoon oil. Toss corn and 2 teaspoons oil on prepared sheet. Roast until corn begins to brown, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Mix in tomatoes, green onions, basil, and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. For chicken * Using mallet or heavy-bottomed saucepan, pound chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch thickness. Pat chicken dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then dust with flour to coat. Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates; top with relish and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND CORN

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. (You can do this step up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate and bring to room temperature before cooking.)
• On a large platter, layer the tomatoes, corn kernels, red onion and fresh oregano (if using). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, and it releases easily from the grates, 5 to 7 minutes per side. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill with smaller flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and peeking occasionally for flare-ups.)
• Transfer the chicken to the platter. Let rest for 5 to 20 minutes before serving.

DILL CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH TOMATO-DILL RELISH

Steps:

• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
• Pound chicken 1/4 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin.
• Whisk together oil, dill, shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a large bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to dill mixture, turning to coat.
• Toss tomatoes with reserved dill mixture and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Grill chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Serve topped with relish.
