SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH WALNUT SAUCE



Sautéed Chicken With Walnut Sauce image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chicken, cut into serving pieces (legs and thighs should be severed at the joint)
Salt and pepper
2 ounces French or Italian bread
1 cup milk or stock
4 ounces walnuts, about 1 cup
1 small clove garlic, peeled
1/4 cup walnut, hazelnut or olive oil
Paprika or chili powder to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Turn the heat to medium under a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces without crowding them; use two skillets if necessary. Cook on the first side about 10 minutes, rotating the pieces and adjusting the heat as necessary to brown the pieces evenly. As the pieces brown, season with salt and pepper. Cook the second side as you did the first, then turn once or twice more until done, a total of 20 to 30 minutes. (You can check for doneness by cutting into the pieces; there should be no sign of blood, although traces of pink are all right. The breast and wing pieces will finish cooking first; keep them warm in a low oven, or just set them aside and serve them less than piping hot.)
  • Meanwhile, soak the bread in the milk or stock. Put the walnuts, garlic and some salt in the container of a food processor, and pulse to grind coarsely. Gently squeeze some liquid from the bread, and add the bread to the container, along with the oil. Process until combined but not puréed. Add as much of the remaining milk or stock as necessary to give the mixture a mayonnaise-like consistency. By hand, add the paprika or chili powder, and stir in the parsley if you are using it. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • Serve the chicken hot or at room temperature with the sauce spooned over it.

CHICKEN WITH WALNUT SAUCE



Chicken with Walnut Sauce image

Categories     Bread     Salad     Sauce     Chicken     Walnut     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water as needed
One 3- to 4-pound chicken, trimmed of excess fat
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, stems reserved and tied together
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 thick slice day-old bread
1 cup walnuts, blanched
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 fresh hot red chile, stemmed and seeded, or 1 teaspoon pure chile powder, like ancho or New Mexico

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of chicken stock or water to a boil (starting with stock will mean even more flavorful chicken and even better stock when you're done). Add the chicken, onions, carrots, celery, parsley stems, salt, and pepper; the liquid should just cover the chicken. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat, until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken and cool to room temperature. Strain the stock and set aside.
  • Put the bread in a bowl and saturate it with some of the stock. Squeeze any excess liquid out of the bread, then place it in a food processor with the parsley leaves, walnuts, garlic, and chile. Process until the walnuts are ground, then, with the machine running, pour in enough of the reserved stock to form a creamy sauce, about 2 cups. Reserve the remaining stock for another use.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Carve the chicken and serve it with the sauce.
  • Walnut Chicken Salad
  • When the chicken is cooked, remove the meat from the bones and chop into small pieces; combine with enough of the sauce to create a chicken salad. Serve at room temperature.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large onion plus 1/2 cup minced
1 cup coarsely chopped carrots
8 peppercorns
Salt
2 bay leaves
6 sprigs parsley
3 pounds chicken, cut up
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon paprika
4 slices white bread, crusts removed

Steps:

  • Simmer the large onion, carrots, peppercorns, salt, bay leaves and parsley in 1 1/2 quarts of water for 20 minutes. Add the chicken, and continue simmering for 20 minutes longer, just until the chicken is done. Cool the chicken in the broth.
  • Meanwhile, heat the walnut oil over very low heat, stirring in 1 teaspoon of the paprika. Set aside in a warm place.

  • Grind the walnuts in a food processor or blender until fine. Spoon into a large bowl, and set aside.

WALNUT-CRUSTED CHICKEN BREAST



Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breast image

I almost never order a nut-crusted entree in a restaurant, as they often feature a sugary glaze or a too-sweet nut, like pecan or macadamia. That's not an issue here since we're going with buttery, subtly bitter walnuts, held on with a very savory 'nut glue,' made with a garlic and mustard base. This protective layer of deliciousness makes boneless, skinless chicken breast taste like it was just carved off a freshly roasted carcass.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
1 ½ cups finely chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
½ cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons honey

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and thyme together in a bowl to make the "nut glue."
  • Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Spread nut glue all over the chicken. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Toss walnuts over the chicken, press down firmly, and repeat on the other side to coat thoroughly. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Coat the bottom of an oven-proof skillet with some olive oil. Place chicken breasts on top, reserving excess nuts if desired. Season with a pinch of salt and drizzle more olive oil on top.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until walnuts are lightly toasted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 25 minutes.
  • Quickly remove chicken to a plate to rest. Transfer skillet to the stovetop; stir in broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and honey and bring to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over and around the chicken to serve.

WALNUT CHICKEN FOR A CROWD



Walnut Chicken for a Crowd image

Marinated chicken, grilled and served in a lemon-olive sauce, topped with toasted walnuts. This recipe serves 10, but can easily be modified to serve smaller numbers. On those occasions when you are serving a crowd, it's great to have a recipe that doesn't need to be doubled or tripled. Because the chicken is marinated, this recipe is obviously suited to those occasions when the guests have been invited: NOT to those occasions when they just turn up - uninvited. The marinading time has not been included in the preparation and cooking times. I have not tried freezing this recipe, but from experience with other chicken dishes my guess is that it would freeze well. I am not so sure about the walnuts. I'd been inclined to omit them from any portions that are frozen, and toast fresh ones at the time of serving. Slivered almonds or chopped pecans could be used in place of the walnuts. Adapted from Rodale's 'Terrific Chicken: 100 Great Meals in Minutes'.

Categories     Chicken

Time 27m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry or 1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup caster sugar
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled, grated
10 chicken breast halves, skinless, boneless

salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • THE MARINADE: Whisk the soy sauce, sherry, oil, sugar, garlic and ginger together in a medium-sized bowl until the sugar is fully absorbed. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade. Place the chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag - or in two medium size bags - and pour in the remaining marinade. Press out the air and seal the bag, turning it over several times to thoroughly coat the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours - or up to 6 hours.
  • LEMON-OLIVE SAUCE: Combine the mayonnaise, yoghurt, lemon juice, olives and garlic, transfer to a blender or food processor and blend. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving jug.
  • TOASTING THE WALNUTS: Stir-fry the walnuts quickly in a dry non-stick pan over a medium-high heat, flipping them until they are fragrant. (1-2 minutes).
  • GRILLING: Preheat the grill to high, cook the chicken breast halves, turning and brushing with the reserved marinade, for 15 minutes or until the juices run clear.
  • SERVING: Arrange the chicken on a platter, top with a little of the sauce and sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the top. Serve with the jug of Lemon-Olive Sauce, grilled tomatoes, sautéed onions and mushrooms and your favourite rice dish.

CHICKEN AND WALNUTS



Chicken and Walnuts image

This is one of my all-time favorite foods. I first had it at my best friends house in high school over 20 years ago. Her mother gave me the recipe and I have been making it ever since. I don't even like green peppers and I love them in this recipe. It is easy and the sauce is divine! For non-soy sauce/salt lovers--don't even try this recipe. The sauce is wonderful if you like the salty flavor of soy sauce, which obviously I do. For those that want a bland, non-salty light sauce, this is NOT the recipe for you! Look elsewhere! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If you can, try to use organic produce and free-range chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The lime sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the dish.
  • Serve the dish over rice or noodles: Walnut chicken is traditionally served over rice or noodles. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Garnish the dish with cilantro and lime wedges: Garnish the dish with cilantro and lime wedges before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Walnut chicken with lime sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and crunchy walnuts is sure to please everyone at the table.
