CRISPY GARLIC BREADCRUMB CHICKEN



Crispy Garlic Breadcrumb Chicken image

While not identical to a pan-fried, breaded cutlet, if you want to eat tender, flavorful chicken with lots of crispy, crunchy bits, then this significantly less-messy method is for you. One of the keys to this technique is to use panko breadcrumbs, which are much larger and more jagged than regular, fine breadcrumbs. This method also allows us to introduce some additional flavor, and moisture, thanks to the 'glue' we use to attach the crumbs.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup panko bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic, finely crushed
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup chicken broth
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
  • Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
  • Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast, making sure not to touch any bones. The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the chicken for doneness by cutting into it. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear and there is no pink in the center.
  • To make sure the chicken is crispy, make sure to preheat the oven to a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy outer layer on the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the chicken in the baking dish. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Crispy balsamic baked chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
