4 thinly pounded chicken breasts
04 -
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning
05 -
1/2 cup plain flour
06 -
Some oil for frying
→ Tomato and Basil Mix
07 -
1 tsp zest of lemon
08 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
09 -
1 1/2 cups of basil leaves, cut into ribbons
10 -

→ Add-On for Serving
15 -
2 tablespoons of balsamic reduction
16 -
1 burrata, pulled apart
# Steps:
01 -
Cover the chicken breasts with plastic and pound until they're an even thickness. Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides.
02 -
You need three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for whisked eggs, and one for breadcrumbs. Dip each piece of chicken into flour first, then eggs, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
03 -
In a cast-iron skillet, warm up some oil to 325°F. Cook each chicken piece for about 2 to 3 minutes on either side, until they’re crispy and golden. Move them onto paper towels to drain.
04 -
Heat olive oil in the same pan. Add cherry tomatoes and let them blister. Stir in the garlic, kosher salt, and wine. Once off the heat, toss it together with the basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a separate bowl.
05 -
Lay the cooked chicken on a plate, spoon the tomato-basil topping on, scatter torn burrata on top, and finish it off with a splash of balsamic glaze.
