Hazelnut Chicken With Orange Thyme Cream Recipes

HAZELNUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the chicken on a work surface and pound it into 3/4-inch thickness with a meat pounder. Pulse the hazelnuts in a food processor until finely ground. Set aside 3 tablespoon of the hazelnuts, and combine the rest with the panko, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Season the chicken with a pinch each salt and pepper. Beat the eggs together with 1/2 teaspoon salt then dip each chicken, letting excess drip off. Dredge the chicken in the nut mixture. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat until hot, then add chicken, 2 at a time and brown, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Brown remaining chicken with the same amount of oil for each batch, wiping out the skillet as necessary. Place chicken on a baking sheet and finish cooking in oven, about 6 minutes.
• While the chicken cooks, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Slowly stream the olive oil into the dressing while whisking. Once creamy and smooth, stir in the reserved 3 tablespoons of hazelnuts. Toss together the dressing with the romaine hearts, tomatoes, and scallions. Serve with the chicken.

HAZELNUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a 5 1/2-quart braising pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan and continue to heat. Using a paper towel, dry the chicken pieces well. Season all sides of the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the chicken to the hot pan skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and the chicken releases easily from the pan, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until nicely browned, about 4 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• To the hot pan, add the carrots, celery and onion. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are fragrant and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the hazelnut liqueur and balsamic vinegar to the pan and cook, scraping up all the brown bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, olives, figs and oregano. Nestle the chicken pieces into the vegetables skin-side down and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through.
• Transfer the braised chicken to a clean platter to rest. Simmer the sauce until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with the hazelnuts and parsley.
