Crispy chicken cutlets topped with a flavorful combination of cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, creamy burrata cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. This Italian-inspired dish is sure to impress your taste buds!

Ingredients

For the Chicken Cutlets:

  • 4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups Italian-style panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Oil for shallow frying

For the Tomato Basil Topping:

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1½ cups fresh basil leaves, sliced into thin strips (chiffonade)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

For Serving:

  • 1 burrata, torn into pieces
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken – Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound to an even thickness. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Bread the Chicken – Set up three bowls for breading: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, shake off the excess, dip into the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  3. Fry the Cutlets – Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet to 325°F. Fry each cutlet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Make the Tomato Basil Topping – In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to blister. Add the minced garlic and salt, cooking for an additional minute. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, stirring to incorporate the flavors. In a bowl, mix the tomato mixture with the basil, lemon juice, and zest.
  5. Serve – Arrange the crispy chicken cutlets on a serving plate. Top with the tomato basil mixture and pieces of burrata, then drizzle with balsamic glaze.
