Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
Olive-oil, cooking spray
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces arugula (about 1 bunch)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • One at a time, place chicken breast halves on a cutting board between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle each piece all over with 1/8 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
  • Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Put 2 chicken breast halves, smooth sides down, in pan; they should lay flat without touching. Cook 4 minutes; turn, and cook until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more. Wipe skillet clean; repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Whisk together lemon juice and 4 teaspoons oil in a large bowl. Add arugula; toss to coat. Divide among four plates. Top with a chicken breast half, and drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Shave cheese with a vegetable peeler, and divide shavings evenly among the plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Easy Chicken Milanese with a Lemony Arugula Salad image

A super flavorful dish of chicken cutlets topped with a refreshing simple salad - a very satisfying meal!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Main dish

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the chicken:
4 4-5 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (or, two, 8 oz. pieces)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (or, dried, unseasoned breadcrumbs)
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
--- fine sea salt & freshly ground pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder (optional)
4 TBSP. olive oil
2 TBSP. butter (or, more olive oil)
1 TBSP. fresh parsley, finely minced
1 lemon cut into wedges, for serving
For the salad:
1½ TBSP. lemon juice
3 TBSP. olive oil
--- --- sea salt and ground black pepper
3 cups baby arugula
½ sm. red onion, sliced into paper thin ribbons (or, 1 small shallot)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200° F (this is to keep the first batch of cutlets warm while you cook the rest).
  • Prepare the chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts and place them on a cutting board. Butterfly each chicken breast in half lengthwise by cutting to, but not through, the opposite side using a sharp knife and holding it parallel to the cutting board. This will leave you with four, butterflied portions. Open up the piece of chicken like a book (each half should be about ¼-inch thick. If thicker than that, place the chicken between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound it to about ¼-inch thickness, using the flat side of a meat tenderizer. See note *, below.). If the chicken breasts are larger (about 8 oz. each), use only 2 of them and butterfly each into two separate cutlets, leaving you with four, individual portions of about 4 oz. each.
  • Prepare your workstation: Put the flour in one shallow and wide bowl (or, a soup plate). Beat the eggs and place them in a second shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese and place that in a third shallow bowl. Season both sides of your chicken with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. One by one, dredge the seasoned chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg wash, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture; pat it lightly. Transfer the chicken pieces to a wire rack and chill them uncovered for at least 30 minutes, or, refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
  • For the salad: Pour the olive oil and the lemon juice in a small jar and season with salt and pepper. Shake well to combine and set aside. In a bowl toss together the arugula and thinly sliced onion or shallot ribbons.
  • Set a large, non-stick, 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half of the olive oil and half of the butter and swirl it around. When it is hot, slip in two cutlets (or, as many as can fit comfortably without overlapping), making sure to let them fall away from you so you do not get burned. Cook for 3 minutes, or, until golden brown on the first side. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more or until cooked through (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken). Using tongs, transfer the chicken to an ovenproof plate, sprinkle lightly with a little salt and pop them into the oven to keep warm. At this point, if the butter in the skillet looks burnt, wipe the pan clean. Add the remaining olive oil and the remaining butter and cook the two other cutlets.
  • Arrange the chicken on a warmed serving platter, or, place on individual plates and sprinkle with the parsley. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix to combine. Top each chicken with some of the salad. Serve immediately, with a lemon wedge on the side.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon image

In order to make this chicken scaloppine, you'll first make a paillard, which just means you'll flatten the thighs by pounding them with a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet. That broadens the surface area of the meat, which in turn browns and becomes crisp during cooking. It's delightful with this simple and bright lemon and white wine sauce.

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

About 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
Salt
Black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs, or more as needed
3 eggs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Slice each chicken thigh open like a book and lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each piece of chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Put two large skillets over medium-high heat for a minute or 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put the flour and bread crumbs on two plates or in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to each skillet and swirl it around. When it is hot - a pinch of flour will sizzle - dredge a piece of the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the eggs and finally dredge it in the bread crumbs. Add the chicken piece to one of the pans, then repeat with another piece in the second pan. (You may be able to fit more than one paillard in each pan at a time.)
  • Cook the chicken, rotating occasionally and regulating the heat if necessary so it sizzles constantly but doesn't burn. When the pieces are brown, after about 2 minutes, turn them over.
  • Cook on the second side until the chicken is firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. (Cut into one with a thin-bladed knife; the center should be white or slightly pink.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and put it in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil and butter to each skillet as necessary.
  • When all the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat under one of the skillets. Add a tablespoon or 2 more oil or butter to the other pan if it looks dry and sprinkle the fat with 2 teaspoons of the remaining flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir and scrape the pan until the wine has reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a bit syrupy, another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan around until it melts. Add any juices that have accumulated around the cooked chicken, along with the 1/4 cup parsley. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

ARUGULA & CHICKEN WITH PASTA



Arugula & Chicken With Pasta image

This recipe was developed by PASTA PRESS and printed in their magazine. This is one favorite impromptu dish during the summer months when arugula is plentiful. As the arugula threads its way through the pasta, its peppery flavor compliments the sweetness of the pan-roasted garlic and fresh tomatoes.

Provided by William Uncle Bill

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb dried plain linguine or 1 lb spaghetti
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 garlic cloves, chopped in large chunks
10 medium fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup dry white wine
2 quarts of tightly packed arugula leaves (about 4 bunches)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Grill or bake the chicken breasts until medium-rare.
  • Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and reserve.
  • Heat olive oil in a large stir-fry pan over high heat.
  • Add garlic and stir-fry until golden but not burn't, about 1 minute.
  • Immediately add tomatoes and chicken stock and heat to boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add arugula leaves and toss until they begin to wilt, about 30 seconds.
  • Immediately toss in the chicken and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in plenty of rapidly boiling, salted water until el dente.
  • Drain well, and immediately add to the sauce.
  • Toss thoroughly to entangle the arugula into the pasta strands.
  • (Timing is critical. Make sure the pasta will be done immediately after adding the chicken to the sauce.) Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until all ingredients are heated through.
  • Serve immediately, sprinkling parmesan cheese over each serving.
  • Arugula is a peppery leafy vegetable resembling spinach leaves with ragged edges.
  • It is generally available during late spring and summer.
  • If it is not available, substitute fresh spinach or a 50/50 blend of watercress leaves and spinach.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON GLAZE (LOW FAT AND DELICIOUS!)



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon Glaze (Low Fat and Delicious!) image

This is a wonderful lower-fat restaurant-quality dish that is easy to make, I also like to add in a few tablespoons of capers and cook with the lemon glaze if you are a lover of capers then add them in as it really adds to the flavour of this dish --- this lemon sauce is not a heavy creamy sauce which is what makes this dish lower in fat, it is more like a glaze that soaks into the chicken, and I would strongly suggest to double or even triple the glaze I most always do, and please be certain to use only dry breadcrumbs as fresh will not stick to the chicken as well --- this is *very* good!

Categories     Chicken Breast

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI



Chicken Scallopini image

While many have heard of veal scallopini, you can make this Italian dish with most any meat or even vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style -- i.e., a venison demi if using deer. You can 'fake' a demi-glace by reducing an appropriate brown stock and adding a water and flour slurry to thicken. Makes an awesome romantic dinner for two.

Provided by Strangecacti

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic, pressed
¼ cup butter, softened
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces sliced mushrooms
20 capers, or to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons chicken-flavored demi-glace, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 lemon slices

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
  • Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
  • Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
  • Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINE WITH ARUGULA AND LEMON



Chicken Scallopine With Arugula and Lemon image

These thin chicken cutlets take about 5 minutes to cook and make for a hearty match to crisp arugula and curls of parmigiano-reggiano cheese.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch (6 ounces) arugula, large stems removed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 small chicken cutlets, each about 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 lemon, quartered
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, thinly shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Divide arugula among 4 plates, leaving center of each empty; season with salt and pepper. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high. Working in batches so as not to crowd, place cutlets in pan and cook until golden brown on bottom, about 2 minutes.

Drizzle with oil, scatter with cheese, and serve, with lemon wedges.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN



Arugula Salad With Parmesan image

Emulsifying a dressing isn't essential for a sublime salad: Instead, think of the oil and acid as seasonings for a vegetable. For this recipe, that's spicy arugula, dressed with olive oil, lemon and shards of Parmesan to create a salad classic in many Italian restaurants and homes. But whether olive oil or lemon should come first, like all seemingly simple questions, is complicated. James Beard, Marcella Hazan, Deborah Madison and Judy Rodgers all concurred: For a brighter-tasting salad, start with olive oil, which better adheres the liquids to the greens and doesn't obscure the lemon. Be sure to use full-flavored greens, then taste the dressed leaves and adjust seasonings until the arugula tastes like its greatest self.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     easy, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 to 5 ounces baby arugula
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
2 ounces Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
  • Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the scaloppine. This will make the cooking process quicker and easier.
  • Pound the chicken breasts or thighs until they are about 1/4-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will add flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the chicken in a hot skillet over medium heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the chicken.
  • Add the lemon juice, white wine, and chicken broth to the skillet after the chicken is cooked. This will create a flavorful sauce.
  • Stir in the arugula and Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will add a fresh, peppery flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken scaloppine with arugula, lemon, and Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The crispy chicken, flavorful sauce, and fresh arugula make this dish a hit with everyone who tries it. Here are some additional tips for making the best chicken scaloppine:
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much chicken to the skillet, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken scaloppine immediately. This dish is best when served hot.
