Chicken Squisito Food

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
• In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese.
• Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick.
• For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.
• Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce.
• Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
• Heat butter until melted and add wine.
• Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer 2 minutes.
• Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve.
• Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

SOFRITO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, Cubanelle pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Set aside 1 cup of sofrito for the recipe and save the rest for another use.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with adobo and cumin. Add chicken to hot skillet and sear on each side until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low and add chicken broth and 1 cup of sofrito. Cover and simmer until chicken thighs fall apart, about 1 hour.
