CRISPY GARLICKY CHICKEN



Crispy garlicky chicken image

Super-simple to put together, this is a great, fast method for really good, crispy crumbed chicken, and I've added garlic for extra flavour. Pounding the chicken, both before adding the crumbs and to help them to stick, tenderises the meat and makes it even quicker to cook.

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 x 120 g skinless chicken breasts
2 thick slices of seeded wholemeal bread, (75g each)
1 clove of garlic
1 lemon
50 g rocket

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts between two large sheets of greaseproof paper, and whack with the base of a large non-stick frying pan to flatten them to about 1cm thick.
  • Tear the bread into a food processor, then peel, chop and add the garlic, and blitz into fairly fine crumbs.
  • Pour the crumbs over the chicken, roughly pat on to each side, then re-cover with the paper and whack again, to hammer the crumbs into the chicken and flatten them further.
  • Put the pan on a medium heat. Fry the crumbed chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 3 minutes on each side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through.
  • Slice, plate up, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, sprinkle with lemon-dressed rocket, and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.

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.

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.

CRUNCHY GARLIC CHICKEN

Think chicken breasts are a bit boring? Try this garlic chicken that has the crunch and flavour of chicken kiev, but with a fraction of the prep

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tbsp (about 40g) grated parmesan
5 tbsp mayonnaise
large garlic clove, crushed
1 lemon, zested
2 tsp finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, sage or rosemary) or 1/2 tsp mixed dried herbs
50g panko breadcrumbs
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
lemon wedges, snipped chives and roasted potatoes and tomatoes to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Make a production line of a board, two wide, shallow bowls or dishes, and a baking tray that will comfortably fit the chicken, lined with baking parchment or oiled foil.
  • If intending to bake immediately, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. (Otherwise, remember to turn the oven on 10 mins before baking.)
  • In the first dish, mix the parmesan, mayo, garlic, lemon zest, herbs and seasoning to form a paste - a tablespoon does this well, and helps at the next stage. Tip the crumbs into the second dish and shake so they cover the base.
  • Now the messy part. Put the chicken on the board and, if necessary, trim and discard any flappy bits. Blot well with kitchen paper - this will help the coating stick.
  • Slide the first breast into the mayo mix and use the spoon to make sure it is coated all over. Pick it up by the pointy end and place on the crumbs. Use a spoon to cover completely with crumbs, and press them on gently until covered all over. Pick up once again by the 'tail' and place on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the second breast, then discard any leftover mayo and crumbs.
  • Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a board and slice into three or four thick slices, scatter over the chives and serve with the lemon wedges, roasted potatoes and tomatoes, if you like.

GARLIC CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN



Garlic Chicken Fried Chicken image

This actually uses my breading for Chicken Fried Steak---my husband suggested we try it with chicken breasts, and it was delicious!

Provided by TANAQUIL

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Fried Chicken Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
1 egg
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, mix together the garlic powder, pepper, salt, paprika, bread crumbs and flour. In a separate dish, whisk together the milk and egg.
  • Heat the oil in an electric skillet set to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dip the chicken into the egg and milk, then dredge in the dry ingredients until evenly coated.
  • Fry chicken in the hot oil for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the oil with a slotted spatula, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh breadcrumbs. Fresh breadcrumbs will give your chicken a crispy, golden-brown coating. You can make your own breadcrumbs by tearing or blending up slices of bread, or you can buy them pre-made at the store.
  • Season the breadcrumbs well. Be sure to season the breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and other spices before coating the chicken. This will help to give the chicken a flavorful crust.
  • Use a light hand when coating the chicken. Don't pack the breadcrumbs on too tightly, or they will fall off the chicken when it's cooking. Just gently press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken until they are evenly coated.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. If you cook the chicken over too high heat, it will burn on the outside before it's cooked through on the inside. Cook the chicken over medium heat until it's golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. This will help to keep the chicken moist and juicy.

Conclusion:

Crispy garlic breadcrumb chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is coated in a flavorful mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, and herbs, then baked until golden brown. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
