Breast Of Chicken Martini Style Recipes

PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts until they are 1/4-inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts. Toss the salad greens with Lemon Vinaigrette. Place a mound of salad on each hot chicken breast. Serve with extra grated Parmesan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

CHICKEN MARTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Mix bread crumbs and one cup Parmesan and set aside. Coat each chicken cutlet lightly with flour, tapping off excess, then dip into egg mixture. Bread cutlets with Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to seal coating, and set aside. Heat large pan on high and add oil. When hot, gently place two breaded cutlets in pan and cook until light golden brown (about 3 minutes per side). Drain cutlets on paper towels and place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cutlets. Lay 4 asparagus spears in center of each cutlet. Drop a tablespoon of Parmesan in the center of the spears. Place cutlets in oven to keep warm. To make sauce: Remove oil from saute pan and place pan over high heat. Add wine and lemon juice and reduce by half, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Add butter and whisk in as sauce comes to a boil. Turn off heat and check seasoning. Place chicken on plates and spoon sauce over each cutlet.
