Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Arugula Salad Topping
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Active: 35 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Unsalted butter
Good olive oil
5 ounces arugula
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 pound chunk Parmesan cheese
Directions
Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs, the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest and thyme, and set aside.
Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper until they are 1/4 inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the prepared flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sautรฉ pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
Place the arugula in a large bowl. In a 1-cup glass measure, whisk together the 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well.
Pile some arugula on top of each hot chicken breast. With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the chunk of Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on top of the arugula.

None of Inaโs recipes has ever failed me! Canโt wait to make this one.
All of Ina's recipes are fantastic. They are also fairly easy and rustic. No fancy-pants stuff with Ina. Try her stuffed shrimp. Sublime.
Fabulous!
Just great for Ina Garten.
I'm going to remember to keep this recipe you found in my cookbook for next time I'm hungry ๐โค
Ina is the best to do it in my opinion!
Too lazy to grate? Grinding is LAZY.
Cool
Why isnโt she calling this by the correct name? Itโs chicken Milanese.
