Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken: Lightly pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
• Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and half lemon juice with a fork in a wide, shallow dish.
• Set aside.
• Combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and zest in a second wide, shallow bowl.
• Individually dip chicken brests first in egg mixture, then in crumbs.
• Pat crumbs on both sides of chicken- it's ok if some crumbs fall off.
• Set crusted breasts on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes to set crust.
• After 20 to 30 minutes, saute chicken in oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
• Carefully turn with a spatula and transfer skillet to a 450 degree oven to finish cooking.
• Roast chicken until done, about 8 more minutes.
• While chicken is roasting, prepare sauce.
• For the sauce: Saute shallot in 1 T butter in a small saucepan over medium heat just until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add wine, cream, broth, and remaining lemon juice.
• Simmer until reduced by half, 8-10 minutes.
• Whisk in remaining butter, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly.
• Add sage and seasonings.
• Place roasted chicken on a plate and top with sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Combine cheese, crumbs and seasonings in shallow dish.
• Cover rimmed baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Dip chicken, 1 breast at a time, in butter, then in cheese mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each breast with each ingredient; place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 20 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).

Steps:

• Combine the minced thyme, minced rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Scatter the herb sprigs, lemon and onion wedges, garlic and carrots in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Using poultry shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Open the chicken breast-side up and press firmly in the center of the breast to flatten. Sprinkle the salt mixture over both sides of the chicken. Place the chicken on top of the aromatics in the baking dish, tucking the wing tips under, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• When ready to roast, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and sprinkle all over with the Parmesan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve on a platter with the roasted carrots, lemon, onion and garlic.

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.
