Pan-Seared Airline Chicken with Tostones
Complete Dish: Pan-Seared Airline Chicken Breast with Chimichurri Sauce, Tostones and Bacon Farofa
Cooking Strategy & Dialogue:Julio explained to Joe: "So we're gonna do a pan seared airline chicken breast. We're going to make a chimichurri sauce and tostones... I'm from Brazil. I grew up. It's a Sunday lunch for us."
He detailed his strategy: "The tostones. I'm gonna peel them, so that's gonna be the clue for Rachel to fry them again and I'm going to leave the chicken ready."
Rachel added her creative touch: "But I also wanted to add some sauteed mushrooms, because I felt that would add another texture and umami. The mushrooms are underneath the chicken."
Judges' Comments:
Gordon: "Visually, it's rustic. Right. It looks like we invited around your house for Sunday night dinner. It's charming... Chicken. Lovely."
Tiffany: "The asparagus itself has a lot of flavor as well, but really, a lot of that flavor is coming from the chimichurri, and I like that you added the mushroom."
Gordon: "It's just so nice to see chimichurri, you know, on a white meat as opposed to a red meat, but it needs more of it."
