Almond Crusted Chicken With Tomato Citrus Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Finely chop the almonds in a mini-chopper or food processor. Transfer the nuts to a shallow dish and stir in the paprika. Lightly whisk the egg whites in another shallow dish. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, letting the excess fall back into the dish. Then press both sides of the chicken into the nuts to coat. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set the crust.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place rack on a baking sheet.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the butter. Place the chicken smooth-side down in the pan and then raise the heat to medium-high. Cook turning once, until the nuts set and turn golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer meat to the prepared pan and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk the vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing. Add the salad greens and toss to coat evenly. Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates, top with the chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, season bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Place eggs in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons water, and beat lightly. Dip chicken in egg, wiping away excess with your fingers, and dip in bread-crumb mixture. Dredge until lightly coated. Dip in egg again, and coat thoroughly with almonds.
• Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until nicely browned, about 3 minutes, and turn over. Cook 1 minute more; then transfer pan to oven, and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Marinade chicken pieces in garlic,ginger,soy and cornstarch for 15 to 20 minute.
• Mix sauce ingredients together in small bowl, set aside.
• Heat wok with 1 tablespoons oil and stir fry almonds until lightly browned; set aside.
• Heat wok with 1 tablespoons oil; add water chestnuts and snow peas and stir fry for 30 seconds, remove and set aside.
• Heat wok with 2 tbsp oil and stir fry chicken pieces until they turn white and firm ( about 2 minutes).
• Add cooked vegetables and almonds to cooked chicken in wok; mix and add sauce mixture.
• Stir together until sauce thickens slightly.
• Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Combine the parmesan cheese and almonds in a flat dish.
• In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Dip each chicken piece into flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten egg, then into the parmesan & almonds.
• Place chicken into hot pan and cook 2 minutes, until golden brown. Turn and cook 1-2 minutes on the other side.
• Transfer to a warm plate.
• Pour off excess oil from pan.
• Add shallots and parsley to pan and sauté over medium heat. Add wine, then gradually whisk in the remaining butter.
• Season with salt and pepper and spoon over chicken breasts. Squeeze a little lemon juice over each breast.

Steps:

• Make the fried onions: Heat up to 1 quart of vegetable oil (2 to 3 inches deep) in a deep saute pan or skillet until it reaches about 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the julienne onions and toss to coat. In batches, being careful not to crowd, add the onions to the hot oil to fry, making sure to lightly shake off excess flour prior to putting them in. When they are golden brown but not dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the onions to paper towels. When the onions are done, give them a rough chop and set aside.
• Add the bacon and minced red onion to a nonstick saute pan and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar, 2 cups water and the tomato puree and reduce the mixture until it thickens, another 5 to 8 minutes. Add all the citrus juices and stir well to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Fill one shallow bowl with the beaten egg and milk, and fill a second with the fried onions. Individually, dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then press into the fried onion. Place the chicken breasts in the heated skillet and cook until golden, about 10 minutes per side, carefully turning once.
• Pour the glaze over the breasts to serve. It goes great with rice or mashed potatoes.
