Chicken Tonette Recipes

CHICKEN TONETTE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the chicken, pineapple, and red onion, and mix until evenly combined. Separate the mixture in half, placing one half into a re-sealable bag with the chicken. Marinate this overnight in the refrigerator. Optional: Skewer chicken, onion, and pineapple for presentation. Keep the remainder of the marinade in the refrigerator.
• On a non-stick grill pan, over high heat spray a little olive oil to coat the pan. Place the marinated chicken onto the hot pan. Brown the pieces on all sides. To the same pan, add the onions and pineapple. Once the onions have softened remove both the onions and the chicken and reserve. Continue to cook the pineapple until it has caramelized on both sides. Remove to a plate with the chicken and onions.
• Place rice, stock, turmeric, and chili powder into a large microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave on high for 10 minutes and on medium for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from microwave and fluff rice with a fork. Stir in marinade and black beans. Serve with Chicken Tonette.

THE BEST CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 4 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4-inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken, one piece at a time. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper. Refrigerate the chicken cutlets uncovered for 1 hour.
• Remove the zest from half of the lemon in wide strips with a vegetable peeler, leaving the bitter white pith behind. Halve and juice the whole lemon.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and melt. Working in 2 batches, cook the cutlets, adding another tablespoon of butter to the skillet between batches, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side (it's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through, it will finish cooking in the sauce). Transfer the cutlets to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and cook until the garlic is tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until almost completely evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the capers, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, 1/4 cup water and the cutlets with any accumulated juices and bring to a boil. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Turn the chicken to coat in the sauce and cook until the butter melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley.

CHICKEN COTOLETTA AS MADE BY ANNA O'HALLORAN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Using the bumpy side of a meat mallet, pound the chicken until ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.
• Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate, shallow dishes.
• To the dish with the eggs, add the parsley, garlic, and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Mix with a fork to combine.
• Add the Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs and stir to combine.
• Working 1 piece at a time, coat the chicken cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess, then the egg mixture, then the bread crumbs. Set the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to come ¼ inch (6 mm) up the sides of the pan. Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed for subsequent batches. Drain the chicken on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Serve the chicken with lemon wedges. The dish pairs well with pan-roasted potatoes and tomato salad.
• Enjoy!
