SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS



Spicy Glazed Chicken Breasts image

This one-skillet chicken has a spicy, pleasantly tart and punchy glaze that's built on frying a little tomato paste in garlic- and almond-infused oil, then deglazing with lemon juice. It tastes like you sun-dried lots of tomatoes for weeks. (But you don't need to do that.) The final flourish is the crunchy fried almonds and garlic. You could skip them, but they add a special touch that belies how fast the dish comes together. Besides chicken, the dish also can be made with any other ingredient that browns well, like tofu or even broccoli.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1½ to 2 pounds total)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sliced almonds
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste (preferably double concentrate)
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
  • Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
  • With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
  • Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 151 calories, Fat 5g fat (1g saturated fat), Cholesterol 63mg cholesterol, Sodium 55mg sodium, Carbohydrate 2g carbohydrate (0 sugars, Fiber 0 fiber), Protein 23g protein. Diabetic Exchanges

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts with skin, be sure to remove it before baking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the chicken, but it also helps to keep it moist during baking. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the baking sheet will result in steamed chicken rather than baked chicken.
  • Bake the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before it is safe to eat. You can check the temperature of the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is baked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

This spicy baked chicken breasts recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy chicken. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then baked until cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken breast that is perfect for a weeknight meal. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
