Chicken ZestNSweet Recipe haslerb
- 1 lb. chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper (a dash of cayenne is optional)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup chicken stock
- juice and zest from 1 lime
- 1 garlic clove, minced and mixed with 1 tsp oil
- 2 tbs peach jam
- 1 tbs fresh tarragon, chopped
- several dashes hot sauce (more or less to taste, I prefer Frank's Extra Hot)
- 1 tbs butter
- If using chicken breasts, thin-slice into ~1/2 inch cutlets by laying on cutting board, placing palm on top of breast, and horizontally slicing through middle of breast.
- Pound breast between wax paper to even ~1/2 inch thickness.
- If brining, do that here (dissolve 1/4 c each of salt and sugar in 1 qt water, brine breasts for 30 minutes).
- Heat oven to 200 degrees and place oven-proof plate on middle rack.
- Divide flour into 2 shallow dishes (I use pie plates).
- Beat egg in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge cutlets in 1st flour dish, dip in egg (making sure to let excess drip off) and dredge in 2nd flour dish.
- Lay coated cutlets on rack.
- Heat large skillet to medium.
- Add enough oil to coat bottom and heat until just before smoking.
- Being careful not to crowd pan, fry cutlets approximately 2 minutes a side until golden and crispy.
- When done, put on warm plate in oven.
- Once chicken is cooked, saute garlic until fragrant.
- Add stock, lime zest, and jam.
- Reduce to ~1/3 cup adding lime juice, tarragon, and hot sauce close to the end.
- Once reduced, remove from heat and add butter.
- Swirl with spoon until well-incorporated.
- Pour over chicken and serve immediately.
