Pan Seared Airline Breast Recipes

EASY PAN-SEARED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Flatten or butterfly the chicken breasts using a couple of sheets of saran wrap and a heavy skillet or the side of a meat tenderizer and pat dry with kitchen paper towels.
• Combine your dry ingredients with whichever dried Italian seasonings you have or want, we recommend oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, rosemary, and thyme.
• Using your fingers or some tongs dredge the breasts through the dry flour mixture and shake to remove the excess, if you want to ensure total coverage you can add your dry mixture and breasts into a plastic bag and shake well to coat.
• Heat your skillet over a medium-high heat for a couple of minutes and then add your olive oil to the hot skillet.
• Add your dredged chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes unturned to allow the crust to form, flip and again cook for 3-4 minutes until both sides have a beautiful golden brown crust on the outside.
• Turn down the heat and add your knob of butter to the pan. Once melted baste the chicken breast with the juices for a minute on each side.
• Remove chicken from the pan and serve with warm rice and lightly steamed vegetables.

AIRLINE CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Slice off 1/2 of each chicken wing by cutting through the joint where the wing meets the drumette. Slice through the skin between the thighs and breasts. Make a shallow cut along the breast bone and 2 deep cuts on either side, separating the breasts.
• Slice each breast off the carcass using the tip of the knife, keeping the blade pressed against the bone. Cut through the cartilage to remove breast with the wing attached.
• Remove the tenders and trim as needed. Season with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and cayenne pepper.
• Push your finger gently under the skin of each breast, right next to the wing bone, to separate it from the meat. Slide 1 tender under the skin, center it, and smooth over the skin. Sprinkle salt over breasts.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, skin-side down. Cook until bottom is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip, reduce heat to medium, and cook until no longer pink on the inside, 7 to 10 minutes more. Add 1 tablespoon butter, rosemary, and thyme. Baste chicken with the butter. Remove chicken from the skillet.
• Pour stock into the pan; increase heat to high. Boil until reduced to desired thickness, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and whisk in remaining butter. Slice each chicken breast into thirds and spoon the pan sauce on top.

• Heat a large saute pan over high heat and add the oil. Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and pepper, to taste. Sear the chicken, skin side down, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the chicken, cover the pan and cook on second side for 7 to 8 minutes.
• After second side has been cooked, add the wine, garlic, and herbs and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and allow it to rest.
• Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Serve the chicken with Potato-Vegetable Hash and the pan sauce. Garnish with chives.
• Using a box grater, shred the potato, zucchini and squash, and add them to a large bowl.
• Stir in the onion, egg, flour, garlic, herbs, and Cajun spice. Blend well. Add more flour if mixture is too wet. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. Portion the hash into 2 cakes, then gently put them in the pan.

PAN SEARED AIRLINE CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Combine paprika, granulated garlic, salt and pepper, in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mix all over the chicken. When skillet is hot, add oil and sear chicken, skin side first, turn over and sear other side. Remove to a sheet tray and put into the preheated oven to cook through, about 15 minutes. To the pan you used to sear the chicken, add in the onions and leeks. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Add garlic and olives and olive juice. Saute for 2 minutes more, then deglaze the pan with white wine. Reduce wine by half. Finish sauce by stirring in thyme and butter. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, and keep warm. When chicken is done, remove from oven, place on serving platter, and pour any juices into vegetable mixture. Pour over chicken and serve immediately.

• Flip the chicken, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and top with the tomato and then mozzarella slices. Sprinkle the mozzarella with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover the skillet and continue to cook until the mozzarella is melted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes more.
• Top the chicken with the basil before serving.

PAN-SEARED AIRLINE CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS, POMEGRANATE AND HARICOT VERTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil. While the oil heats up, season the chicken breast with salt on both sides. Add the chicken to the preheated oil, skin-side down. Sear on the first side until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip to the other side, place the skillet in the oven, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• While the chicken finishes cooking, bring about 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan and season with salt to taste (if needed). Add the couscous, return the stock to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Set a large bowl of ice water on the counter. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and add enough salt so it tastes like the ocean, then add the haricots verts. Blanch the beans until they are bright in color and al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the beans and immediately add them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, then transfer the beans to paper towels to dry.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and set the skillet back on the stovetop. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board. Turn the heat back on under the skillet and deglaze the pan with the remaining chicken stock and the red pepper flakes. Bring the stock to a boil and taste, seasoning with salt if needed.
• Toss the warm couscous with the beans, 2 tablespoons of pomegranate seeds, the pomegranate molasses and the chopped chives. Serve with the chicken breast and drizzle the pan sauce over the top.
