Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 bone-in chicken breasts
3/4 cup flour
2 large eggs beaten
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove the chicken breasts from the bone. Slice each breast in half lengthwise. Put them between pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet or a small skillet until they are 1/4-inch thick.
  • Set up a breading station with three pie plates or shallow dishes. Put the flour in one and season it with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, the eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons of water in another, and the breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken in 1 layer and cook until it is golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on brown paper and keep warm while you make the sauce.
  • In another skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it is melted, add mushrooms and season them with salt and pepper. Cook until they are browned, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds then add the stock and simmer for 4 minutes and reduce by one third. Add the Worcestershire sauce, turn the heat off, and let cool for a minute before stirring in the sour cream. Serve the Schnitzel with the sauce poured over the top, garnished with parsley.

CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY HERB SALAD



Crisp Chicken Schnitzel With Lemony Herb Salad image

This schnitzel is light and crunchy with a crust that rises like a soufflé. The secret is to trap air in the crust when you cook the meat by moving and shaking the pan (Ms. Clark demonstrates with pork in this video.) You can use this technique with a variety of meat cutlets.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 anchovy fillets
1 small garlic clove
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
7 to 8 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko or other unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 pounds chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/8-inch thick
Safflower, peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
2 quarts mixed baby greens
2 cups soft herb leaves, like a combination of mint, tarragon, basil, parsley, cilantro, chervil, chives (try to use at least 3 kinds)
1 scallion, thinly sliced, including greens

Steps:

  • Mince anchovies and garlic and mix with a large pinch of salt until you get a rough paste. Put it in bowl and whisk in the lemon zest, juice and another pinch of salt and some pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Place eggs in one shallow dish, bread crumbs in another, and flour mixed with cayenne and nutmeg in a third. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle chicken more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
  • When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add a chicken cutlet (or two if your skillet is large, leave plenty of room around them). Swirl pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Toss salad greens and herbs with just enough anchovy-lemon dressing to lightly coat them. Divide salad on serving plates and top with schnitzel. Drizzle with more dressing and garnish with scallions.

GARLICKY CHICKEN WITH LEMON-ANCHOVY SAUCE



Garlicky Chicken With Lemon-Anchovy Sauce image

There's nothing wrong with a dinner of pan-seared chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. But there's everything right about the same chicken when you add anchovies, capers, garlic and plenty of lemon to the pan. What was once timid and a little dull turns vibrant, tangy and impossible to stop eating. And the only real extra work is chopping the garlic and a little parsley for garnish. In this dish, the cut of chicken is less important than the pungent pan sauce. Most people will probably want to use the workhorse of all poultry dinners, the boneless, skinless breasts. But the thighs cook nearly as quickly, and have a greater margin of error in terms of doneness. Overcook your breasts by even a minute, and you'll get dry, tough meat. Thighs are more forgiving. However, if your family insists on white meat, you can substitute breasts and subtract about 3 minutes from the cooking time. There is no need to mention the anchovies until after people have complimented you on the meal.

Categories     dinner, quick, weeknight, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 to 5 thighs)
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons drained capers, patted dry
1 large pinch chile flakes
1 lemon, halved
Fresh chopped parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and let rest while you prepare the anchovy-garlic oil. Mince one of the garlic cloves and set it aside for later. In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the 5 smashed whole garlic cloves, the anchovies, capers and chile. Let cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies, until the garlic browns around the edges and the anchovies dissolve, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken thighs and cook until nicely browned on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the thighs, place the pan in the oven and cook another 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • When chicken is done, transfer thighs to a plate (be careful, as the pan handle will be hot). Place skillet back on the heat and add minced garlic and the juice of one lemon half. Cook for about 30 seconds, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Return chicken to the pan and cook it in the sauce for another 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Transfer everything to a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the schnitzel is cooked evenly, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • To achieve a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken in the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
  • For a flavorful and juicy schnitzel, use high-quality chicken breasts and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  • To prevent the schnitzel from becoming greasy, cook it in a large skillet over medium heat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • To make the anchovy-chive butter sauce, use high-quality butter and fresh anchovies and chives.
  • To ensure the sauce is smooth and creamy, whisk it constantly over low heat until the butter is melted and the anchovies have dissolved.
  • For a more intense flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine to the sauce.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately with the anchovy-chive butter sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Chicken schnitzel with anchovy-chive butter sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The crispy schnitzel is perfectly complemented by the rich and flavorful sauce, and the dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can easily create this restaurant-quality dish in your own kitchen.
