Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 extra-large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 1/4 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
Unsalted butter
Good olive oil
Salad greens for 6, washed and spun dry
1 recipe Lemon Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pound the chicken breasts until they are 1/4-inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and 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 and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the 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 saute 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. Toss the salad greens with Lemon Vinaigrette. Place a mound of salad on each hot chicken breast. Serve with extra grated Parmesan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH ARUGULA SALAD



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken With Arugula Salad image

This offering, originally from Food & Wine, is an easy weeknight meal. I love it for it's simplicity. Even though it is quick and easy, there is still great flavor due to the dijon, fresh thyme and parmesan. I love the lightly dressed salad which you can pile underneath each serving of chicken. If you like more dressing for your salad, by all means mix up a little extra!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, divided
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided (I've used store-bought in a pinch)
1/2 teaspoon water
4 cups packed arugula (I've also used a spring mix)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, whisk 2 teaspoons of the mustard with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the thyme.
  • Season the chicken breasts, on both sides, with salt and pepper - then brush them all over with the mustard mixture.
  • Pat about 2 T. of the parmesan on EACH chicken breast (both sides) - it should take about 1/2 Cup total for all 4 breasts.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a rimmed baking sheet (I line mine with alum. foil sprayed with just a touch of Pam - for easy release and clean-up).
  • Bake the chicken on the top shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until just cooked through and nicely browned.
  • Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon each of mustard and oil; then stir in the water.
  • Add the arugula (or spring mix lettuce) and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
  • Spoon the salad onto plates, top with the chicken and serve!
