Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon (scant) saffron threads
12 chicken cutlets (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick; about 2 pounds)
Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons (or more) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 pound spring onions or green onions (dark green parts discarded); white parts cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, pale green parts cut into 1/2-inchthick slices (scant 2 cups)
1 1/2 pounds slender asparagus, tops cut into 3-inch pieces, stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons crème fraîche or heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl; cover gremolata and set aside. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add saffron and stir until slightly darker, about 30 seconds. Transfer to another small bowl; cool and crumble saffron. DO AHEAD: Gremolata and saffron can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Sprinkle chicken lightly with coarse salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches and adding more oil as needed, cook chicken until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange chicken on platter; tent with foil.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil and butter to same skillet. Add white and green parts of onions and sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add asparagus. Sprinkle saffron over vegetables. Sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper and sauté 1 minute. Add broth, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered until vegetables are tender and broth reduces and thickens to glaze, about 5 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche and gremolata. Season with salt and pepper. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to platter, arranging around chicken. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. Maybe I cooked it for too long?

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of tarragon, so I omitted it from the gremolata. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the tarragon.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I loved the combination of chicken, asparagus, and spring onions. The gremolata was also a nice touch.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken from the night before, and it worked perfectly in this dish. The asparagus and spring onions were also a nice addition.

I'm not a huge fan of parsley, but I loved the gremolata in this dish. It added a nice pop of flavor without being overpowering. The chicken was also cooked perfectly.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the asparagus and spring onions were perfectly cooked. The gremolata added a bright, fresh flavor that really brought the dish together. I will definitely be making this aga
