Chicken Oscar

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

  • 3 oz jumbo lump crab meat, picked over for shells and cartilage

  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped

  • 1/2 medium tomato, chopped

  • 10 thin asparagus spears, trimmed and peeled

  • 2 cups water to boil asparagus

  • 2 Tbs flour

  • 1 Tbs vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp butter

  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp salt for boiling water

  • 4 cherry tomatoes for garnish

  • Lemon Chive Sauce1 Tbs butter

  • 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice

  • 5 Tbs whipped cream cheese

  • 1 Tbs milk

  • 1 Tbs chopped fresh chives

Asparagus spears and crab meat bring both earthiness and a taste of the sea to this classic dish.

Directions

  • In medium saucepan, bring water mixed with 1/2 teaspoon salt to boil. As soon as the water comes to a boil, add asparagus and boil until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Set aside until needed.
  • Lay chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thickness. On a medium plate mix flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; dredge chicken to coat, patting off any excess.
  • In medium, non-stick frypan over medium heat, warm 1 teaspoon butter and oil. Saute chicken breasts on both sides until browned and firm, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken; keep warm until ready to serve. Add onion to skillet and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Increase heat to high, add tomato and saute until most of the moisture has evaporated. Lower heat to low and add crab meat; toss gently, just until hot.
  • To serve, set one chicken breast on each plate; arrange 5 asparagus spears on top of each. Spoon some of crab mixture over asparagus and drizzle with Lemon Chive Sauce (recipe below). Garnish with cherry tomatoes.
  • Lemon Chive Sauce:In small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter with lemon juice to make sauce. Whisk in cream cheese, milk and chives until smooth.
