CHICKEN MILANESE

Steps:

• Place 1 chicken breast between 2 sheets of wax paper. Pound with a meat mallet, rolling pin or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. The thinner and more even, the better. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate shallow baking dishes and season each with salt and pepper.
• Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off the excess. Next, dip into the egg wash and let any excess drip off. Finally, dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing to help the crumbs adhere evenly on both sides. Transfer the breaded chicken to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. This step can be done up to 30 minutes in advance.
• Heat 2 inches of the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook 1 or 2 cutlets at a time in a single layer until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to another wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with salt. Let the cutlets rest a few minutes while you make the salad.
• Whisk together the lemon juice with some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Stir in the onion and let sit a few seconds. Taste and add more olive oil, if needed. Add the arugula and Parmesan and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Place each cutlet on a plate and top with a large amount of salad. Serve lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Make the sauce first. Preheat a medium sauce pan over medium heat and melt the butter; add the garlic and saute for a minute or so.
• Add the broth and sun-dried tomatoes and let them simmer for 10-15 minutes. You want the tomatoes to be rehydrated and tender.
• Add the cream to the sauce and let come to a simmer.
• Add sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. An immersion blender works as well. Put the sauce back in the pot and heat on low to keep warm.
• Make the chicken next. Preheat a saute pan or saucepan to medium-high heat.
• Season the chicken with a herb blend. I used one tablespoon of the Demarle rosemary, basil and thyme blend as well as salt and pepper.
• Place about a tablespoon of oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts.
• You'll start by cooking the chicken breasts for five minutes on either side. It may require longer if the breasts are thicker. Don't move the chicken too much so that you can get the browning; turn when it's ready to flip.
• While your chicken is cooking, cook your pasta according to package directions.
• When the chicken is done, place the pasta on a plate and top with sauce and chicken. Enjoy!
