3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Arugula Salad Topping image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Unsalted butter
Good olive oil
5 ounces arugula
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 pound chunk Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs, the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest and thyme, and set aside.
  • Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper until they are 1/4 inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  • Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the prepared flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
  • Place the arugula in a large bowl. In a 1-cup glass measure, whisk together the 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well.
  • Pile some arugula on top of each hot chicken breast. With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the chunk of Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on top of the arugula.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, ARUGULA AND GARLIC YOGURT



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Potatoes, Arugula and Garlic Yogurt image

Your typical sheet-pan chicken recipe roasts everything together on a pan at once. This version pairs potatoes with the poultry, and tops everything off with fresh herbs and arugula, making it a true one-pan meal, salad included. A savory yogurt sauce adds a creamy touch, but it's optional if you're not a yogurt sauce fan. Feel free to double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd, though make sure to use two sheet pans so that everything is spread out in one layer, which is critical for browning.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 1/4 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
2 tablespoons harissa (or use another thick hot sauce, such as sriracha)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1/2 lemon)
1/3 cup plain yogurt (do not use Greek yogurt)
1 small garlic clove
2 ounces baby arugula
Chopped fresh dill, as needed
Lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together harissa, cumin and 3 tablespoons oil. Pour over chicken and potatoes and toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine leeks, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange chicken and potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes. Toss potatoes lightly. Scatter leeks over pan. Roast until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and slightly crisped, 25 to 30 minutes longer.
  • While chicken cooks, place yogurt in a small bowl. Grate garlic over yogurt and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spoon yogurt over chicken and vegetables in the pan. Scatter arugula and dill over mixture. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice and serve.
