ingredients
-
Ginger-honey walnuts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 1⁄2 cup walnut halves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coarse salt
-
Lemon chicken
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 thinly sliced scallion (about1 tablespoon, green part only)
directions
- To make Walnuts: Place the oil, ginger and garlic in a small skillet. Slowly heat over medium-low until the garlic sizzles. Add the walnuts and honey. Cook on medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the temperature until the honey boils and sticks to the walnuts and the walnuts turn golden. Sprinkle with the salt, adjusting to taste. Transfer to a side dish or a sheet of aluminum foil. Do not put on paper towels because they will stick.
- To make Chicken: With a sharp knife, fillet the chicken breasts through the thickest part to make 8 cutlets.
- Place them on a large piece of plastic wrap, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap, and gently but firmly pound the chicken with a meat pounder or the underside of a small, heavy skillet to make fillets of even thickness of 1/4 to 1/3 inch.
- Spread the flour on a large plate and lightly dredge the cutlets; shake off the excess flour.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, broad skillet until hot enough to sizzle.
- Add the cutlets a few at a time and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- As the cutlets are cooked, transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Discard the oil in the skillet and let the skillet cool slightly. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, ginger and garlic to the skillet. Heat and stir over medium-low heat just until the garlic sizzles. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth and honey. Heat, stirring to loosen any browned bits in the skillet, for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture boils and thickens. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with the walnuts and the scallions.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
