Description

Juicy chicken cutlets pan-seared with garlic and basil, topped with fresh tomatoes and creamy burrata cheese for a simple yet elegant Italian-inspired meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling


Instructions

  1. Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese and chopped basil.
  2. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in egg, and coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add diced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Place chicken cutlets on serving plates. Top each with tomato mixture and torn burrata pieces. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil.
