Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 whole skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 pound arugula (about 3 bunches total)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    On a plate stir together flour and salt and pepper to taste. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

    Step 2

    In a large heavy skillet heat oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and brown chicken, turning it once, until golden. Add wine and broth and simmer chicken, turning it once, until just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool completely.

    Step 3

    While chicken is cooling, in a bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Cut chicken into very thin slices.

    Step 4

    Discard coarse stems from arugula and mound arugula on each of 6 plates. Arrange chicken slices over arugula and drizzle with sauce.

Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics, and super juicy meat.
An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.
