  • Chicken Paillards with Clementine Salsa

    This is a recipe based on an original recipe seen in the December issue of bon apetit, but we added our own touch of spice by adding jalapenos among other things.

    4 Chicken breast halves
    4 Clementines, peeled, diced (about 1 cup)
    1 Cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
    1/2 Cup diced red onion
    1/2 Cup diced celery
    1/4 Cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
    1/4 Cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
    1/4 Tsp Salt
    1/4 Tsp Pepper
    2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    2 Tbsp lime juice
    1 Jalapeno, seeded, minced
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1/2 Cup clementine juice

    Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of wax paper, separating . Using tenderizer or mallet, pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.

    Mix clementines, tomatoes, onion, celery, basil, cilantro, salt and extra-virgin olive oils in medium bowl. Cover; let stand at room temperature.

    Uncover chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until slightly browned and cooked through, about 3 -4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Add clementine juice to skillet and stir/scrape chicken bits from pan; boil until reduced for about 2 minutes. Drizzle sauce over chicken add salsa and serve.
