Sauteed Chicken Breast Recipes

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Dredge the chicken breasts lightly with flour and shake off the excess.
• Melt the butter over high heat in a frying pan and saute the breasts quickly on both sides until they are delicately browned. Remove to a serving dish. (At this point, the centers should still be raw.)
• Add the onion to the pan, stir it around vigorously (still over high heat) and, when it just begins to brown, add the wine.
• Boil the wine away to almost nothing, add the cream and meat glaze, and continue boiling over high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Add white pepper and salt to taste and return the breasts to the pan. Lower the heat, and let themcook for a minute or so more, until the centers are just ''set'' pastth e point of rawness. Do not overcook. Serve over rice or pasta.

TASTY SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.
• Place all the dry ingredients in a large ziploc bag and shake.
• One at a time, place chicken breasts in the flour mixture. Pat and toss to coat. Shake off any excess flour. Throw away the excess.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once heated place chicken in the skillet and cook until golden brown, flip and brown the 2nd side.
• Once all the pieces are browned on both sides, REDUCE the heat to the lowest cooking temperature. Cover & tip the lid to let any excess steam escape. Cook until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink. Approximately 20- 30 minutes longer.
• Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the breast. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Do not overcook and dry out.
• Serve with basmati rice or broad egg noodles and bernaise sauce on the side. Ladle over rice, chicken as desired. If not making homemade sauce, I prefer Knoor brand.

BASIC SAUTEED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Begin by trimming the chicken breasts if they need trimming. I use my beloved kitchen scissors and snip off any shaggy bits of fat or gristle.
• Pat them dry with paper towels (to helps them brown) and sprinkle them with some kosher salt.
• Heat a very large pan over medium-high heat and add the butter, which should melt and foam, and the olive oil, which should stop the butter from burning. When the fat is all very hot but not turning black (recipes say "when the foam subsides"), add the chicken breasts in one layer. Now leave them alone for 5 or so minutes while the bottom gets nice and crusty and brown.
• Use tongs or a spatula to flip them over as they brown, and then cook another 4 or so minutes until the bottom is very brown and the chicken is cooked through. You may want to cut a piece open to check, but pressing a cooked breast with your fingertip will give you a feel for its doneness, which will develop over time into the skill of knowing when it's done without cutting it.
• Pile the chicken on a heat-proof plate and pop it into a 200ºF heated oven while you "deglaze" the pan. Add the garlic, onion and mushrooms until tender. Pour half the broth in and scrape with a spatula to dissolve all the yummy browned bits while the broth bubbles and boils furiously in the hot pan.
• When the wine has cooked down about halfway, add the broth & juice, turn the heat to high, and cook until the sauce seems syrupy and delicious. Taste it for salt, then drizzle it over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley, and serve. Sometimes, if the chicken has browned but doesn't seem quite cooked through, I leave it in the pan while I make the sauce so that it can simmer in there a bit longer.
