Ways to serve chicken paillard
Chicken paillard is often served with an arugula salad, since it adds a nice fresh counterpoint to the savory chicken. Here are some of our favorite simple ways to serve it: We first had the dish at a French restaurant near out house, and it was so absolutely flavor packed, we had to try our own spin on the recipe. Here’s our version, where tender cutlets are bathed in a tangy, savory sauce that will have you want to lick your plate clean! Serve with an arugula salad and it’s got a sophistication that works for guests but is the perfect easy dinner idea.
Chicken breast: Buy organic chicken if at all possible. Look for boneless skinless chicken breasts, or cutlets if possible. Butter: The French way of cooking chicken is in butter! We like salted butter to season the dish. If desired, you can substitute olive oil Garlic: Fresh garlic is key for the flavor; do not use jarred garlic as it often has a bitter or acidic flavor. Shallot: Shallots bring a subtle onion flavor. Substitute yellow onion in a pinch! Apple cider vinegar: Just a hint of ACV adds a tang to the sauce. Stone ground mustard: The star here is stone ground mustard, which adds a savory flavor and nice look to the sauce. Use Dijon mustard in a pinch. White wine or chicken stock: For a sophisticated flair, cooking with white wine adds a vibrancy to the sauce. And, you can drink glasses from the bottle while you cook!).
