Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 3 eggs, whisked
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups Italian-style panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1½ cups fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup dry white apple vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 burrata, torn into pieces
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by placing each breast between plastic wrap and pounding to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Set up three bowls for breading: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a skillet to 325°F. Fry each cutlet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until blistered (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic and salt; cook for another minute. Deglaze with vinegar and mix in basil, lemon juice, and zest.
- Serve by arranging chicken cutlets on a plate and topping with the tomato-basil mixture and torn burrata. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
