comfort food: chicken and potatoes

Chicken Schnitzel and Smashed Mustard Potatoes

Serves 4.  This wonderful meal from the August 2014 issue of Cooking Light magazine comes in at 433 calories per serving as long as you use fat free milk for the chicken coating.  Mustard gives a great flavor to the potatoes – no cream or butter needed.

            1 lb. small red potatoes, halved
            ⅓ c. chicken broth                               
            ¼ c. chopped green onions                  
            1 Tbs. whole-grain mustard                  
            1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper, divided
            4 (6-oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves,
             pounded to ¼” thickness         
            ¼ tsp. kosher salt
            ¼ c. flour
            ¼ c. milk
            1 large egg, lightly beaten
            1 c. panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
            2 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
            ½ tsp. garlic powder
            cooking spray
            4 tsp. olive oil, divided

Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water.  Bring to a boil.  Cook 12 minutes or until tender; drain.  Return potatoes to pan; mash to desired consistency.  Stir in broth, green onions, mustard, ½ tsp. pepper, and salt to taste.

While potatoes cook, sprinkle chicken with salt and remaining ½ tsp. pepper.  Place flour in shallow dish.  Combine milk and egg in another shallow dish.  In a third shallow dish combine panko, parsley, and garlic powder.  Dredge chicken pieces in flour.  Dip in milk mixture; dredge in panko mixture, shaking off excess.  Lightly coat breaded chicken with cooking spray.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 2 tsp. oil to pan; swirl to coat.  Add 2 chicken breast halves to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until chicken is done.  Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.  Repeat procedure with remaining 2 tsp. oil and remaining 2 chicken breast halves. 


Serve chicken with the potatoes.
