The crostini toasted baguette slices topped with tomatoes and Parmesan are a delicious accompaniment to the simple chick. Uncork a bottle of sparkling wine for a special touch. Ingredients:
12 1/4-inch-thick french bread baguette slices, toasted |
1/4 cup tomato paste |
12 thin slices plum tomato |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
4 4-ounce skinless boneless chicken breasts |
3 tablespoons all purpose flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (white and pale green parts only) |
2 small garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. Make crostini: Place bread on baking sheet. Spread tomato paste over. Top each with 1 tomato slice. Sprinkle cheese atop.
2. Make chicken: Pound each chicken breast between sheets of plastic to 1/4-inch-thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place flour in bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Lightly coat 2 chicken with flour; shake off excess. Transfer to skillet and cook until brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate and tent with foil. Repeat with 1 teaspoon oil, flour and remaining chicken.
3. Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in same skillet over low heat. Add green onions and garlic; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth and wine scraping up any browned bits in skillet. Add lemon juice and 2 tablespoons parsley. Increase heat to high; boil until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Mix in lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet; simmer until heated through, turning to coat.
4. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Broil crostini until cheese melts, watching closely, about 1 minute.
5. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon pan juices over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Serve with crostini.
