Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless chicken thighs, pounded flat
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups panko
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten

Cream Sauce:

  • 6 ounces pancetta, diced small
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped sage leaves
  • Confit Potatoes, recipe follows

Directions

Chicken:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Season the flour and the panko with salt and pepper. Add the oregano and paprika to the panko and mix to combine. Put the flour, panko and eggs in separate bowls. Dip the chicken first in flour to coat, then in the eggs. Let the excess egg drain off and then evenly coat in the seasoned panko crumbs.

In a deep saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Put the chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook on first side until golden brown, then turn on the other side. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt while the chicken is still hot.

Cream sauce: In a saucepot over medium heat, add the pancetta and render until some of the fat is released. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the heavy cream and let simmer until reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and stir in the chopped sage.

To serve: Divide the potatoes between 2 plates and top each with 2 chicken thighs. Spoon some of the cream sauce over the top and serve.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In an oven-proof dish, toss together the potatoes, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the olive oil over top until the potatoes are covered. Cook the potatoes in the oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the oil and put in a bowl.

    Yummy and easy! I bought the pint of heavy cream and subbed the pancetta for three slices of bacon... Served it with roasted potatoes instead of confit potatoes. I thought this was a really rich dish though and could only eat one chicken thigh.

    great dish - give it a shot. Easy and just as tasty to sub bacon and italian bread crumbs.
    only need about half of the sauce recipe

    This is really good with the sauce. To me the chicken was a little bland without it, but I do not like planko fried, as well as I do as just flour fried. I also did not make the sauce as the recipe states. I used bacon instead of pancetta and I did not have heavy cream so I used carnation evaporated milk, it trued out so good i could have drank just the sauce. I will for sure make this agian but not with the planko. It also needs to be said that I used 1 1/2 cup of plain planka and 1/2 cup of italian style bread crumbs instead of using dried oregano, but I did put the paprika in the flour and planko. This one is one that needs to be tried if you want a little something differnt for a meal. I would use this for when I have company over.
