GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium to medium-high heat. Brush the grate of the grill with canola oil just before you grill the chicken. Season the chicken with lemon pepper and put on the grill. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the capers and white wine and reduce by half. Whisk in the mustard, and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter and dollop with the creamy sauce.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

CHICKEN MILANESE

Steps:

• Place your palm flat against the top of each chicken breast and carefully slice each piece in half horizontally; you'll be left with 4 thinner chicken breast pieces. Place each chicken cutlet between 2 sheets of waxed paper and use the smooth side of a mallet (or a rolling pin) to pound them until they're very thin. If you think they're thin enough -- pound 'em a few more times! The thinner the better.
• In a dish, whisk together the milk and eggs. Place the flour in another dish and mix in some salt and pepper. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Set the 3 dishes aside for a sec.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken pieces, then dredge them 1 at a time in the flour, then quickly dunk both sides in the egg mixture and then coat both sides in the breadcrumbs. Lay each piece on a plate until you're ready to cook them.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. When it's melted and hot, add 2 pieces of the breaded chicken and cook, flipping once, until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer the chicken to a clean plate. Add the other tablespoon of butter and oil to the skillet and cook the other 2 pieces of chicken.
• To serve, place 1 piece of cooked chicken on each plate. Top generously with arugula. Sprinkle with a little kosher salt, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle on some Parmesan shavings. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side.

CHICKEN MILANESE

Steps:

• Place 1 chicken breast between 2 sheets of wax paper. Pound with a meat mallet, rolling pin or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. The thinner and more even, the better. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate shallow baking dishes and season each with salt and pepper.
• Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off the excess. Next, dip into the egg wash and let any excess drip off. Finally, dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing to help the crumbs adhere evenly on both sides. Transfer the breaded chicken to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. This step can be done up to 30 minutes in advance.
• Heat 2 inches of the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook 1 or 2 cutlets at a time in a single layer until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to another wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with salt. Let the cutlets rest a few minutes while you make the salad.
• Whisk together the lemon juice with some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Stir in the onion and let sit a few seconds. Taste and add more olive oil, if needed. Add the arugula and Parmesan and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Place each cutlet on a plate and top with a large amount of salad. Serve lemon wedges on the side.
