Chicken Meuniere With Tomato And Parsley Sauce Food

ROLLED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH ARUGULA AND PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• For the Aioli: Place all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the aioli to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the Sandwich: Add the shredded chicken to the aioli and mix well. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, add the tortillas, 1 at a time, and cook until warm, about 30 seconds each side. Place the warm tortillas on a work surface and spread with the chicken mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the arugula over the chicken mixture. Carefully roll up the tortillas, jelly-roll fashion. Cut each rolled sandwich in half, diagonally, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve.

CHICKEN MEUNIèRE

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. While it is heating, sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place the flour or cornmeal on a plate.
• Pour the oil or clarified butter into the skillet to a depth of 1/8 inch, and turn the heat to high. When the oil is hot, dredge the cutlets in the coating, turning them a few times and pressing them down so they are well covered. After you dredge each one, add it to the pan.
• Cook until the chicken is nicely brown, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn. Cook 2 to 4 minutes until the chicken is firm to the touch (lower the heat if the coating begins to scorch).
• Meanwhile, if using the optional butter, melt over medium heat until it is nut-brown.
• When the chicken is done, drain it briefly on a paper towel, then transfer to a warm platter. Drizzle with lemon juice, and top with half the parsley. At the last minute, pour the browned butter over the chicken, add the remaining parsley and serve.

CRISPY CHICKEN IN GARLICKY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large braiser or high-sided saute pan oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon butter along with the onions, garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by about half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, oregano and the remaining tablespoon butter and bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper.
• Nestle the chicken in the sauce skin-side-up and transfer to the oven. Bake until the chicken is just cooked through, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
