Know anyone who hate chicken breast because they think itβs dry, tough and tasteless?
This chicken breast recipe will convert them 100%. The chicken is moist, tasty and tender. Best of all, you donβt need to blanket the chicken in flour, egg, breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Instead itβs a light and healthy dish that is super easy to prepare with only 5 ingredients which includes salt and pepper.
All it takes is 2 simple steps - marinate and sear. Iβve been making this dish for a few years based my go to Italian cookbook Lidiaβs Italian American Kitchen.
ingredients
12 thinly sliced chicken breast cutlets or 6 whole breast (slice into 2 cutlets horizontally)
Salt
Pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed
cooking steps
Wrap plastic wrap around 2 thin chicken cutlets. Lightly pound the chicken slices with mallet. Repeat for all chicken cutlets
In a sheet pan, season each side of chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and rub with olive oil. Press 2 sage leaves onto each cutlet or attach them with a toothpick. Scatter smashed garlic all over the sheet pan. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 3-4 chicken cutlets sage side down. Cook until browned for about 2 minutes. Turn the cutlets over and cook for another 2 minutes until inside is no longer pink. Repeat and cook all the cutlets.
