This is a method of cooking which is very quick and easy. The main factors of this style are high heat and little oil; some oil choices are vegetable, olive, canola, corn or soy. This is very similar to searing meat, except that in searing the meat is only browned but not fully cooked, whereas saut?ing both browns and thoroughly cooks. Saut?ing does not require any further process to finish the meat's preparation. For the best results when saut?ing, use skinless, boneless breasts. To prevent uneven cooking, make sure that the meat is pounded to an even thickness in all areas. You can also simply by these pounded cutlets ready-made. Saut?ed meat is often accompanied with a sauce made from the drippings left at the bottom of the pan. Before adding the oil to the pan, preheat it so it is already hot. Do not overdo the usage of oil; only use enough to cover the bottom of the pan. For this reason, it is best to use a non-stick pan, as these require less oil during cooking. Ensure that both the pan and the oil are hot enough so that the chicken immediately begins to cook as it is placed in the pan. If your chicken recipe requires that the meat has a nice colored coating, then you can cover the meat in flour before placing in the pan. This also gives it more of a crispy coating, but is not required. It is also recommended to season the meat prior to cooking with ingredients such as salt, pepper or herbs; this will boost the flavor of the meat, resulting in a better final dish. When you place the chicken in the pan, keep in mind that you want to present it with the best side up, so begin by placing it in the oil with the best side down. When the first side of the chicken is golden-brown in color, turn the pieces over to the other side using tongs. Always keep in mind that they should only be turned once, to prevent the flavor and color being affected. Also, do not allow the pieces to touch each other; this could result in uneven cooking. You can always alter the heat during cooking to maintain a constant temperature. Once complete, remove the chicken from the heat, and create a sauce if the chicken recipe calls for one. |
