Chicken With Mustard Seed Crust And Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add leeks and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until liquid evaporates, 3 minutes. Stir in broth, mustard, and thyme; bring to a boil. Return chicken and any juices to skillet in a single layer. Roast in oven until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat; stir in cream. Serve chicken and sauce with couscous and salad.

Steps:

• Place couscous in a heat-proof mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, and olive oil; stir with a spoon until all couscous is coated with oil. Level off to smooth the top and set aside.
• Season chicken on both sides with salt.
• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over high heat. Add chicken and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Flip and add onions. Sear chicken on second side, while sauteing onions at the same time, for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove chicken to a plate and let cool for a few minutes. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes and return to the saucepan.
• Add chicken broth, zucchini, green beans, bell pepper, green onions, paprika, and turmeric to the saucepan. Place over high heat. As soon as it boils, remove from the heat and carefully dump it on top of the couscous; do not stir. Immediately wrap bowl tightly with foil and set a timer for 5 minutes.
• When timer goes off, unwrap foil and toss in parsley. Stir to combine ingredients. Taste and adjust for salt.
• Spoon couscous onto serving plate and garnish with feta cheese, chili flakes, and parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place bread crumbs in another large bowl.
• Working in batches, coat chicken quarters on all sides with mustard mixture. Shake off excess mustard, then coat completely with bread crumbs. Arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan.
• Dust the chicken with paprika and scatter butter pieces on top. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and crispy, about 2 hours. (Depending on the oven, the size of the pan and the size of the chickens, baking time may be as long as 2 1/2 hours.) Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in couscous and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chicken, season with pepper, and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove chicken from the skillet, and set aside.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the jalapeno peppers and carrot, and saute about 2 minutes. Mix in the zucchini, green onions, ginger, and 1/4 cup chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, blend the remaining 1 cup chicken broth with curry powder, coriander, and cornstarch. Pour over the vegetables. Return chicken to the skillet. Continue cooking about 2 minutes until chicken is coated and the broth mixture begins to thicken. Serve over the couscous.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Trim any fat off of chicken thighs and season with a light coating of adobo and pepper.
• Stir Dijon and melted butter together in a shallow bowl until you have a glossy, buttery mixture. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
• Dip chicken thighs in the Dijon mixture until evenly coated, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Transfer thighs to the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven without flipping until no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Garnish with parsley to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place chicken pieces, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet, and place under the broiler. Cook 5 minutes; using tongs, turn chicken pieces, and continue broiling 3 minutes more.
• In a small bowl, combine mustard, shallots, thyme, black pepper, red-pepper flakes, and salt. Stir in butter and oil until thoroughly combined.
• Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Brush chicken pieces on both sides with the mustard mixture, and then roll in breadcrumbs to coat completely.
• Place coated chicken pieces on a clean baking sheet, and return to broiler. Cook until well browned all over, about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Reduce oven heat to 500 degrees; continue roasting until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, brown the chicken for one-and-a-half minutes on each side.
• Mix in the onion and continue cooking for one minute.
• Sprinkle the flour on the chicken pieces, turning them so that all the pieces are coated. Cook one minute to lightly brown the flour.
• Add the water and stir to dissolve the flour until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the skillet and boil gently for five minutes.
• Remove the meat to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Cook the sauce to reduce it to about one-and-a-half cups. Mix the dry mustard with the Dijon mustard and stir until smooth. Stir the mustard mixture into the sauce and heat, but do not allow the sauce to boil after the mustard has been added.
• Place the chicken pieces in the sauce and warm over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes to develop the flavor.
• Serve the chicken with the sauce.

Steps:

• Cook couscous in water as directed on package. Cool uncovered for 20 minutes.
• In large bowl, combine all remaining salad ingredients. Add cooked couscous; toss gently to mix.
• In small jar with tight-fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients; shake well. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently. Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to blend flavors.
• Heat oven to 425°F. Line shallow baking pan with foil; spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. In small bowl, combine honey, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; blend well. Place chicken breast halves in sprayed foil-lined pan. Spread chicken with half of honey-mustard mixture.
• Bake at 425°F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear.
• To serve, arrange salad on individual serving plates. Cut chicken crosswise into slices; arrange on top of salads. Drizzle remaining honey-mustard mixture over chicken.
