Procedure:


Flatten the chicken breasts by lightly pounding them with a meat mallet or heavy skillet while they are covered with plastic wrap.





Add the salt and pepper to the flour. Dredge (coat) the chicken breasts with the flour.





Heat a saut茅 pan over high heat. Add the oil. When it just begins to smoke, add the chicken breasts and cook for 1 minute on each side, until they brown lightly.





Remove the saut茅 pan from the heat, add the brandy, return to the heat, standing back, allowing the brandy to ignite and burn off. Remove the chicken breasts to a serving plate.





Reduce the heat to medium and add the scallions, tomatoes, and ham, saut茅ing the ingredients for 1 minute.





Add the heavy cream and wine to the saut茅 pan. Return to high heat and boil, allowing the cream to evaporate and lightly thicken.





Add the crabmeat and parsley and heat thoroughly. Pour over the chicken breasts and serve hot.
I think this has to be my all time favorite chicken recipe. It's fabulous with couscous! The only change I make is to add 1tsp dried chives along with the dill. You can use canola oil instead of vegetable oil also.

SAUT脡ED CHICKEN BREAST


The simplest thing to do and one of the most difficult to do well





Saute--Fry. One and the same thing except we tend to relate saute to less fat than frying and in the saute, we usually make a pan sauce from the pan reside


while deeper fat is generally not used for further culinary enhancement. Saute means to jump! When the fat jumps, your are cooking properly. Fast cooking


keeps in the juices. Slow cooking means you will allow juices to escape before browning occurs.





Equipment: A heavy bottom pan frying pan is best. In the classroom, use what we have on hand.


Spatula or tongs, dry and liquid measure, measuring spoons, shallow plate or pan, chef's knife,


board, pounder, plastic wrap.


Ingredients:





Boneless chicken breast


1 Tbl. butter see note


1 Tbl. oil


1/4 cup flour


salt and pepper


1/4 cup chicken stock





Mise en place: Properly form the chicken breast into a uniform thickness by pounding lightly


between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Choose the presentation side of the cutlet. Place flour onto a


plate. Put butter and oil into pan and prepare to heat pan over high heat. On our electric stoves, it is


advisable to have a second burner on medium high to finish the cooking.





Method: Salt and pepper the surfaces of the breast and push it into the flour coat and turn to coat


the opposite side. Make sure the tenderloin is tucked under and adheres to the breast on the side


opposite the presentation side. It will fuse during cooking. Pick up the cutlet and shake gently to


remove excess flour. Place butter and oil into hot pan and shake gently to mix as it heats over high


burner. Just as the butter stops foaming, lay the chicken breast in the pan, presentation side down.


Brown about 3 minutes. Switch burners, or lower heat to medium and turn the breast with the


spatula, not the fork, to brown on tenderloin side. That will take about 4 minutes. Press the breast


with the spatula. It will feel firm. Remove the chicken to a heated plate.





A pan sauce may be made by increasing the heat to high, adding 1/4 cup of chicken stock to deglaze


the pan and cook briefly, scraping up any bits of brown in the bottom of the pan. Herbs, chopped


scallion, garlic and wine make nice additions. If additional ingredients are used, you may wish to


add them to the hot pan before deglazing with stock or wine. Serve the sauce over the chicken


breast or lift the chicken, sauce the plate and serve with the breast on top of the sauce.





Note that the proper amount of fat in the pan is important. If the fat does not touch all of the irregular surfaces of the floured breast, those spots will steam, not


brown. The effect you are seeking is an evenly browned surface. The fat must be hot enough to jump, but not so hot that it smokes at any time during the


heating or cooking phase.
