CLASSIC LEMON CHICKEN WITH SAUTEED SPINACH



Classic Lemon Chicken with Sauteed Spinach image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lemons
4 chicken cutlets, pounded thinly into scallopini
Salt and pepper
Flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, peeled
16 caper berries
10 large green olives
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock or broth
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
Sauteed Spinach, recipe follows
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 pounds spinach
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Squeeze the juice from one and a half lemons and reserve. Cut the remaining half lemon into very thin slices. Remove seeds and set the lemon slices aside.
  • Season the chicken scallopini with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, coating both sides, and tap the excess flour off. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add as many scallopini into the pan that will fit without touching, and cook until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Flip and cook second side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove scallopini and drain on paper towel.
  • When done with the scallopini, wipe off the fat from the skillet with paper towels. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, butter, garlic, and lemon juice and slices to the skillet. Cook, scraping the bottom until garlic is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Scoop out the lemon slices and set aside. Add the caper berries and olives and cook, stirring gently for about 4 minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil. Cook until the wine is reduced by half. Add the chicken stock and boil until slightly syrupy. Return the scallopini to the skillet and coat each piece in the sauce. Add parsley and swirl into sauce.
  • Divide scallopini onto separate plates. Spoon the sauce over, and add the caper berries and olives around scallopini. Add some of the spinach on the side. Finish by decorating each plate with reserved lemon slices on top of the scallopini.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Crush garlic cloves with the side of the knife and add to the oil. Cook until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Add the spinach in handfuls, and season lightly with salt and pepper, and cover pan. Cook until spinach releases its liquid. Uncover pan, and cook stirring until spinach is wilted and water has evaporated. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper.

SAUTEED CHICKEN OVER WILTED SPINACH WITH KUMQUAT SAUCE



Sauteed Chicken Over Wilted Spinach with Kumquat Sauce image

Categories     Chicken     Fruit     Leafy Green     Poultry     Sauté     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Vinegar     Spinach     Kumquat     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 kumquats
1 large shallot
2 boneless chicken breast halves with skin*
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 cups packed spinach leaves (from about 1 bunch)
*available by request from butcher

Steps:

  • Separately cut kumquats and shallot crosswise into thin slices, discarding any kumquat seeds. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté chicken, skin sides down, until skin is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook over moderate heat until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm, covered.
  • Add shallot to fat remaining in skillet and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Sprinkle sugar over shallot and cook, undisturbed, until sugar is melted and golden. Immediately stir in kumquats, water, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in parsley and salt to taste and, if sauce is too liquid, simmer until thickened to desired consistency, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer two thirds sauce to a small bowl and to remainder add spinach and salt to taste, turning with tongs until just wilted.
  • Divide spinach between 2 plates and top with chicken. Spoon sauce over chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner and healthier dish.
  • Slice the chicken thinly so that it cooks evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and steaming.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat so that it browns quickly and evenly.
  • Do not overcook the chicken, or it will become tough.
  • Wilt the spinach just before serving so that it retains its bright green color and nutrients.
  • Use fresh kumquats for the sauce, as they have a sweeter and more flavorful taste than canned kumquats.
  • Serve the dish immediately so that the chicken and spinach are still warm.

Conclusion:

Sautéed chicken over wilted spinach with kumquat sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the spinach is flavorful and nutritious, and the kumquat sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
