Best 5 Sauteed Chicken With Cherry Tomatoes Recipes

LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if they weigh 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
• Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you will not use all of it) and tap the breasts to remove excess.
• Turn oven on low. Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until bottom is browned in spots. Turn over and brown other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. If there is more than a tablespoon of fat in the pan, pour some off into a jar or bowl.
• Turn heat on burner down to medium-high. Add wine to pan and stir with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Add cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring often or tossing in the pan, until they begin to shrivel and burst. Add sugar and salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook, tossing the tomatoes in the pan and stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, until tomatoes have collapsed but are still intact. Top chicken breasts with the tomatoes, sprinkle with parsley and with Parmesan if using, and serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat 12 inch skillet, Dutch oven or casserole with lid. Pour in oil and heat until quite hot. Line pan with a batch of chicken breasts and fry over high heat until golden brown on one side, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and brown other side. Remove with tongs and continue browning remaining pieces. Set chicken aside.
• Reduce heat to medium, put garlic and shallots in pan, and saute until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add oregano, white wine, salt and pepper and saute uncovered about 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, shaking pan from time to time.Add tomatoes and return chicken to pan, cover and cook about 10 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is done. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Scoop chicken out onto a platter and serve with rice or over mashed potatoes.

SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tb. olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high flame until it just starts to smoke. Add tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Saute, shaking pan frequently, until tomatoes soften and skins just begin to wrinkle, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and continue to shake the pan until garlic is fragrant. Off heat, stir in the basil and remaining 1 Tb. olive oil, then serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH TOMATO RELISH AND SPINACH

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together tomatoes, parsley, 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, and capers. Season tomato relish with salt and pepper.
• Working with one piece at a time, lay chicken flat; holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface, split in half horizontally. Cover with plastic wrap; lightly pound each cutlet with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook cutlets, in batches, until browned and opaque throughout, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with foil.
• To skillet, add spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Top chicken with tomato relish, and serve with spinach.

CHICKEN ESCALOPES WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, RICOTTA, AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking tray.
• Place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another bowl, and mix panko and Parmesan together in a third bowl.
• Butterfly chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in panko mix to coat.
• Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot pan and cook until browned and crispy but not fully cooked, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and place on the prepared baking tray.
• Add more oil to the pan if needed. Add shallots and tomatoes and saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add taco seasoning. Remove from the heat.
• Pour tomato mixture over the chicken, then dollop with ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
