Simple Pan Fried Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together flour, tarragon, salt, ginger, pepper, mustard powder, thyme, garlic powder, and oregano in a shallow bowl until well blended. Beat the egg together with the milk until smooth in a bowl. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shake off excess, then dip in egg, and again in flour. Set breasts aside to rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour again, and shake off excess. Brown the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Place onto a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or a rolling pin, to tenderize the meat and ensure uniform thickness.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes or so.
• Heat a skillet over med-high heat, and add olive oil.
• When pan is sufficiently heated, sear chicken breasts over high heat.
• Allow about 2 minutes (until lightly browned) before turning to other side.
• Optional: Before serving, sprinkle grated cheese on chicken and broil for approx 5-10 mins (until cheese is melted).
• Serving suggestions: Serve this over pasta, or as chicken sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mustard/mayo.
• Personally I love this with fried rice too.

Steps:

• In a bowl or resealable plastic bag, season the chicken with 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the garlic powder. Cover or seal and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
• Pour 1/2 to 1 inch of oil into a deep 12-inch cast-iron skillet and heat until a pinch of flour sizzles upon contact (about 360 degrees F). Set a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. In a bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Place the flour in a separate bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg wash, drain off the excess, then dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess.
• Working in batches, place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and fry for 3 minutes without moving. Continue to fry, turning the chicken every 1 to 2 minutes to ensure even browning and cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, 11 to 15 minutes. Drain on the rack and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken under cold running water. Mix water and kosher salt in large bowl, stirring until salt dissolves. Cover chicken with salt mixture and refrigerate overnight (minimum 4 hours).
• Remove chicken from salt water brine and immerse in buttermilk. Allow to marinate overnight (minimum 4 hours). Remove chicken from buttermilk, holding each piece to drip excess buttermilk back into bowl. Lay chicken on a wire cooling rack set over a sheet pan.
• Mix flour, sea salt, pepper, cornstarch, and potato flour in a large bowl. Dredge chicken parts in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Lay chicken parts on the wire cooling rack.
• Using large cast iron, or heavy skillet, melt the lard and butter together and add the bacon or pork shoulder. When the mixture is hot (but not smoking), add the chicken, 1 piece at a time, in a single layer, skin side down. The chicken should be half covered in the butter-lard mixture. Cook each piece 10 to 12 minutes per side, turning once, or more often if necessary, to brown evenly. Dark meat cooks more slowly than white meat. To check for doneness, cut a thigh to the bone and check for redness. When evenly browned, removed the cooked chicken and place on cooling rack. Serve hot or allow to cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Line two 15x10x1-in. baking pans with foil and grease the foil; set aside. , In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, soup mix, dressing mix and seasonings. Place milk in a shallow dish. Dip chicken into milk, then add to flour mixture, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. Place in prepared pans. Drizzle with butter. , Bake at 350° for 35-50 minutes or until juices run clear.

Steps:

• Grate the lemons and then squeeze them to extract the juice.
• Mix the lemon rind, juice, mustard, crushed garlic, salt, pepper & smoke paprika together until well blended.
• Coat the chicken breasts with the sauce - or even better, place ALL the ingredients including the chicken into a Zip Lock bag.
• Can be put in the fridge for up to 24 hours until needed OR can be frozen at this stage.
• If pan frying - heat the olive oil gently and add the chicken breasts.
• Cook on a high heat until they are browned and sealed - then cook gently for up to 20 minutes until juices run clear when pierced.
• At this stage you can add the optional creme fraiche or sour cream for a creamier sauce.
• The oven roasted cherry tomatoes can also be added to the pan to reheat them slightly.
• Sprinkle with some more smoked paprika before serving & fresh parsley. Garnish with a lemon wedge if required.
• Serve with fresh seasonal vegetables, steamed potatoes or rice & pasta.
• OVEN BAKED VERSION: Preheat oven to 200 C or 400 F; coat the oven proof pan with the olive oil and heat it up slightly beforehand.
• Place chicken breasts with all the sauce into the pan.
• Turn over once during cooking which should take 30 to 45 minutes.
• Add creme fraiche at this stage if using and scrape all the sauce from around the edges into the creamy sauce.
• Cook for a further 2-5 minutes.
• Serve as for pan-fried version.
