Pan Fried Chicken Shaken Peas Recipes

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH PEAS, BACON AND LETTUCE

Steps:

• Season the chicken. Set a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and fry the chicken skin-side down for 2 minutes or until the skin begins to colour, then turn over and reduce the heat to medium-low. Fry gently for 6 minutes, then turn over again and continue to cook for 4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm in a covered bowl.
• While the chicken is cooking, prepare your ingredients. Remove the fat from the bacon and slice into lardons. Finely chop the garlic and slice the onions into pea-size chunks. Trim and roughly slice the lettuces.
• Once the chicken is cooked, add the bacon to the pan. Fry briskly for 2 minutes or until it begins to colour, then reduce the heat and mix in the garlic and spring onions. Fry for a few seconds, then stir in the stock. Bring up to a full boil, scraping the pan as you do so. Allow the stock to bubble and reduce slightly, then mix in the peas and lettuce. Return to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until the peas are tender.
• Quickly stir the butter into the peas and remove from the heat. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve immediately, with the chicken.

CHICKEN AND SUGAR SNAP PEA SAUTE

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, heat 1/3 of oil over high heat.
• Add peas and stir fry until bright green, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from pan and set aside in bowl.
• Place flour in shallow pan.
• Cut chicken into 1x2 inch strips or bite size pieces (strictly preference here), season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
• Discard leftover flour.
• In same skillet, heat remaining oil over high heat.
• Add chicken and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to bowl with peas.
• Add chicken broth and garlic to skillet and cook until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and return chicken and peas to skillet.
• Cook until just heated through.
• Add parsley, juice and zest.
• Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Substitution Suggestions: I use a bag of frozen sugar snaps, or a bag of frozen stir fry veggies.
• Any of your favorite veggies would do.
• This also goes well with rice.

SKILLET-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, salt and pepper. Coat chicken with flour mixture.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil (1/4 inch) over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil, skin sides down, about 10 minutes or until light brown; reduce heat to low. Turn chicken skin sides up.
• Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, without turning, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F).

TENDER PAN-FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS

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.
