PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL AND POTATOES WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breasts with Tomato and Basil and Potatoes with Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 to 2 pounds fingerling potatoes or red skin baby potatoes
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 Italian mild green pepper, cubanelle, seeded and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow skinned onion, thinly sliced
4 large cloves garlic, cracked away from skin
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and pepper
2 cups shredded Parmesan, available in tubs near deli -- make sure to get shredded cheese, not grated
4 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 plum Roma tomatoes or small, vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
15 to 20 leaves fresh basil, pile leaves, roll then thinly slice -- chiffonade

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Cut fingerling potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small fingerlings may also be left whole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process. If you are using small red potatoes, halve or quarter them in the same way.
  • Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!
  • While potatoes cook, prepare chicken. Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat -- your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.
  • While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
  • Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of raw sauce and serve with potatoes, peppers and onions.

  • When chicken has marinated, remove the fillets from brine and dab with paper towels to remove excess liquid. Beat eggs in a medium bowl, and pour flour onto a plate. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in another medium bowl. To bread the chicken, first coat each fillet with flour, then egg, and then the Parmesan mixture.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets image

We love chicken parmesan and are always searching for a new or different version of preparing. I watched America's Test Kitchen and thought WOW - have to try this and soon! Note: The chicken breasts will be easier to slice into cutlets if you freeze them for 15 minutes until firm but not fully frozen. To slice in half, place one hand on top of the breast to secure it, hold a chef's knife parallel to the cutting board, and slice through the middle of the breast horizontally. Note that 1/2 ounce of Parmesan is grated on the smallest holes of a box grater (or Microplane rasp grater); the remaining 6 ounces are shredded on the largest holes of the box grater (see photos below). We like the flavor that authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano lends to this recipe. Less-expensive DiGiorno Parmesan cheese can also be used, but the resulting cheese crust will be slightly saltier and chewier. Serve this chicken with a simple salad. Although the portion size (1 cutlet per person) might seem small, these cutlets are rather rich due to the cheese content. To make 8 cutlets, double the ingredients and cook the chicken in 4 batches, transferring the cooked cutlets to a warm oven and wiping out the skillet after each batch.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each tenderloins removed, breasts trimmed of excess fat and halved horizontally)
1/2 teaspoon salt & fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 ounce grated parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup, see note above)
3 large egg whites
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives (optional)
6 ounces shredded parmesan cheese, see note above (about 2 cups)
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Set wire rack on rimmed baking sheet. Whisk together 1/4 cup flour and grated Parmesan cheese in pie plate. In medium bowl, whisk egg whites and chives (if using) together until slightly foamy. In second pie plate, combine 2 cups shredded Parmesan and remaining tablespoon flour.
  • Using tongs and working with 1 cutlet at a time, coat chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Transfer chicken to egg-white mixture; coat evenly and let excess run off. Coat chicken with shredded Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so that cheese adheres. Place on wire rack.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place 2 cutlets in skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook until cheese is pale golden brown, about 3 minutes. While chicken is cooking, use thin nonstick spatula to gently separate any cheesy edges that have melted together. Carefully flip cutlets and continue to cook until cheese is pale golden brown on second side and meat is no longer pink in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towel and return to medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and cook remaining 2 cutlets.

WEIGHT WATCHERS PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN SCHNITZELS



Weight Watchers Parmesan Crusted Chicken Schnitzels image

This delectable low-calorie chicken dish is packed with flavour but not calories and is perfect for anyone following the 5:2 Diet as well as Weight Watchers. It's a favourite meal for me and my husband when we are on a diet, when I serve it with lots of steamed greens and a grilled tomato. For a gluten free version use crushed cornflakes in place of the breadcrumbs. NB: Please note these don't have any oil brushed on them as they are for a very low-calorie diet! If you are NOT worried about the extra calories, please brush the chicken fillets with a little oil before baking, or pan-fry them in a little oil or butter.

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 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)

  • 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.

I'd forgotten how delicious this really is! According to Weight Watchers Recipe Builder, this recipe has 6 points per serving. It's a great recipe...

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 large egg
1 Tbsp water
1/2 c corn flake crumbs
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Brine chicken breasts by dissolving 3 tablespoons salt into about 2 cups water. Add chicken breasts and cover with more water. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Pour off water and replace cover. Set aside.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts on cutting board and pound to about 1/4" thickness. Cut each breast in half to make 4 portions (about 4 ounces each).
  • 3. In separate bowls, whisk together egg and water until egg is slightly foamy. In the second bowl, mix together corn flake crumbs, parmesan cheese, pepper and paprika. Dip pounded chicken breast pieces in egg mixture and then roll in corn flake crumb mixture and place in baking dish.
  • 4. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn. Return to oven and bake for about 20 more minutes or until golden and chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately with your favorite vegetables.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy cooking experience.
  • To achieve a golden-brown crust, ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the Parmesan cheese mixture.
  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before coating it with the Parmesan mixture.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature for a short period to create a crispy crust while keeping the chicken tender and succulent.
  • Serve the Parmesan-crusted chicken immediately with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Parmesan-crusted chicken is a versatile and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and sure to impress your family and friends. With its crispy Parmesan crust and tender, juicy chicken, this dish is a must-try for any home cook. Experiment with different variations, such as adding herbs, spices, or different types of cheese, to create your own unique Parmesan-crusted chicken recipe.
