INGREDIENTS (2 servings)
Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, whipped slightly with a splash of half and half or milk
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon orange marmalade
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup organic grape tomatoes, halved (I used our homegrown tomatoes)
- Fresh baby arugala (enough for two servings)
- Shaved Parmesan, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
For the chicken: Begin by pounding out the chicken breast gently between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Prepare a breading station with flour, whisked eggs and milk, and panko crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Coat the breasts in flour, egg then panko. Lay the coated breasts out on a flat tray and refrigerate to let the crust dry out (about 10 minutes) this will ensure there is less moisture and less chance your coating will break when frying. Shallow fry the paillard in hot oil for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on how thick the breasts are. Drain well, season with salt and set aside when done. For the vinaigrette: Put the marmalade, cider vinegar, mustard and salt and pepper into a small bowl. While whisking, pour the olive oil in slowly for the dressing to emulsify.
Prepare the salad by splitting the grape tomatoes in half through the middle lengthwise, mixing in arugula in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and toss the salad well. Add more vinaigrette, if needed. Refrigerate the remaining for another day.
To serve lay the warm, crispy chicken paillard on the base of the plate and top with the salad. Garnish with shaved parmesan cheese, a wedge of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
