1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders
Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten with 1/4 cup water
2 cups Italian style bread crumbs
1 cup shredded Parmesan
6 sprigs or stems fresh thyme leaves, stripped and chopped, 2 to 3 tablespoons
6 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped, 3 tablespoons
2 handfuls chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Chicken Parmigiano, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small white onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) can chunky style crushed tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth or stock
A handful fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
Coarse salt
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a nonstick cookie sheet in oven with a tin foil liner.
  • Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium to medium high heat.
  • Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Wash hands. Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs with water in a second dish along side the flour. In a third dish, combine the breading ingredients. Coat chicken in flour, then egg, then bread and cheese mixture. To keep your hands clean, ask for plastic gloves at the butcher counter. To ease your clean up, try using disposable tin pie tins for the flour, egg and bread crumbs.
  • Cook chicken until deeply golden on each side, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to cookie sheet in preheated oven and finish off for another 5 minutes cooking time. Cook chicken 5 or 6 tenders at a time in a single layer, adding additional oil if necessary. If the chicken begins to brown too quickly lower heat slightly. Serve chicken hot or cold with green salad or, complete as a Parmigiano.
  • Set water on to boil for pasta and prepare according to package directions for al dente. Before coating chicken, add oil, onions and garlic to a saucepan to cook medium low heat. Stir occasionally for 10 minutes while you are working on the chicken. Add both cans of tomatoes and a cup of chicken broth and bring sauce to a bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer until ready to serve. Stir in torn basil and season sauce with salt, to your taste.
  • Place a little of the sauce on the chicken tenders, top with the shredded provolone and Parmigiano. Place in oven or broiler to melt the cheese and then serve. Coat the hot, cooked pasta lightly with sauce then serve.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN TENDERS WITH PUMPKIN, SESAME AND POPPY SEED BREADING



Chicken Tenders with Pumpkin, Sesame and Poppy Seed Breading image

Chicken tenders are a childhood favorite of mine. They have always been my weakness, but why not try switching it up? During my travels to Italy, I picked up this great variation at Culinary Institute of Bologna (CIBO). A variety of seeds are added to the breading, so it packs a punch of great flavor. You can even make it gluten free if you want. All you need to do is replace the flour and panko with their gluten-free counterparts. Superbowl, snack, salad, lunch or dinner--these tenders make the cut.

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, chopped
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 pounds organic chicken breasts, cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch strips
2 cups sunflower oil or safflower oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a separate large baking sheet with paper towels and a wire rack.
  • Combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the flour with 2 teaspoons of the seasoned salt in a large shallow bowl and set aside. Whisk the egg in a large shallow bowl and set aside. Combine the panko, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds in a large shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (it should be about 1 inch deep) until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • While the oil is heating up, bread the chicken in small batches. First, place the chicken in the flour mixture, coating each tender evenly and dusting off any excess flour. Then place the chicken in the egg wash, making sure each tender is covered. Place the tenders in the panko mixture, rolling the chicken so each tender has a nice coating. Be sure not to overcrowd the bowls with chicken, as you want each tender properly coated. Place the breaded chicken on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Cook the chicken until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes on each side. If the chicken is browning too fast, lower the heat. Place the cooked chicken on the wire rack and serve hot.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 chicken tenders
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 leaves sage
8 slices Prosciutto di Parma
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 wedges lemon
Wild Mushroom Broken Spaghetti Risotto with Arugula and Hazelnuts, recipe follows
1 package dried mixed wild mushrooms or porcini mushrooms
1 quart chicken stock
2 cups water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, broken into small pieces
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup hazelnuts
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, a few handfuls
4 cups arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, top each tender with 2 leaves of sage. Wrap each tender with a slice of ham. Coat the tenders liberally in olive oil, a couple of tablespoons.
  • Arrange meat on baking sheet on parchment paper and bake until crispy and firm, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • To serve, slice meat on bias and pile on Wild Mushroom Broken Spaghetti Risotto with Arugula and Hazelnuts.
  • Alternatively, skewer the tenders and serve with lemon wedges on a plate as first or second course.
  • Place mushrooms, stock and water in a sauce pot and heat, keep warm on low.
  • Heat a medium saute pan or risotto pan with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic to pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta and toast until deeply golden in color and very nutty in fragrance, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in wine and let it cook away, 1 minute. Ladle in stock every few minutes, stirring for a good minute with each addition of stock to develop starches. Evaporate almost all of the liquid before each addition of stock. Pasta will cook up quicker then rice. Start tasting after about 8 to 9 minutes of cooking time once you begin to add stock. When you are down to the last cup of your liquids, remove mushrooms, chop and add to pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, toast hazelnuts in a skillet until fragrant. Peel nuts by rubbing the skins off in a clean kitchen towel.
  • When pasta is cooked to al dente, stir butter into the pan then stir in the cheese.
  • Dress arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve risotto in shallow bowls topped with greens and nuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: For the best flavor, use fresh herbs de Provence and sesame seeds. Dry herbs can be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the herbs and sesame mixture helps to infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but longer is better. You can even marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out. You can cook the chicken in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce: Sesame and herbes de Provence chicken tenders are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Sesame and herbes de Provence chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a more special occasion. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
