Mustard Herb Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipes

CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH MUSTARD-HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have 8 thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon each butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Cook the remaining cutlets in 1 more tablespoon each butter and olive oil, then remove them to the plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine, then just let it bubble and cook until it's reduced by half, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the mustard, then pour in the chicken broth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the herbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Return the chicken cutlets to the pan, turning them in the sauce to coat. Serve with buttered noodles, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with more herbs.

MUSTARD HERB CHICKEN CUTLETS AND GARLIC SPINACH

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have 8 thinner chicken breast cutlets. Sprinkle both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the cutlets to a plate and set aside. Cook the remaining cutlets in the same manner.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the skillet and stir until golden brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine and allow it to simmer and reduce by half, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Stir in the mustard, followed by the chicken broth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the pan sauce with salt and pepper. Add the herbs and stir.
• Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, turning them in the sauce to coat and to rewarm them. Serve on top of the Garlic Spinach. Spoon more sauce from the skillet over them and garnish each plate with more fresh herbs.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the garlic and give it a quick stir. Add the spinach and let it cook down, turning often to bring the wilted pieces to the top, until softened, a minute or two.
• Cook until completely wilted, a minute or two more, then season the spinach with salt and pepper, as well as the lemon juice. Toss to evenly combine everything.

CRISPY HERB-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, mix the milk and egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, rosemary and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Bread the cutlets by dredging them first in the seasoned flour, then dunking them in the egg/milk mixture and finally by pressing them into the herby breadcrumbs so they are completely coated. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the cutlets and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle over the flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
