This spicy chicken breast recipe gets its heat from the Hot Cherry Peppers that cook in a simple sauce of white wine, chicken broth, and garlic.
PREPARATION TIME
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 45 minutes
Ingredients
8 thin sliced chicken cutlets, about 3 ounces each
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached flour
2 large eggs, beaten with 1 tbsp water
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves minced garlic
3/4 cup sliced jarred hot cherry peppers, drained
1/4 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste, on both sides.
Place the flour in a shallow bowl, and the beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.
Heat a very large nonstick pan over medium heat. When hot 1 teaspoon oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
Lightly flour chicken, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs and add to the hot pan in 3 to 4 batches to fit in a single layer.
Saute chicken 2-3 minutes on each side. When cooked, transfer onto a plate.
Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken and set aside. I used 3 teaspoons total here.
Place the chicken broth in the bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour and whisk.
Add 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet and add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the hot cherry peppers and white wine. Cook down to reduce by half, then add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes so it reduces slightly and thickens.
Return the chicken to the pan to combine with the sauce and cook 30 seconds, to heat through.
Top with parsley and enjoy!
