Ingredients

  • 6 thin, boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 TBS dried Italian herb seasoning
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 Tablespoon butter divided
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 large plum tomatoes
  • 12 ounces fresh mozzarella balls
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped basil
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Glaze

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken breasts until they are ¼-inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs, seasoning and ½ cup grated Parmesan.
  • Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and cook half the chicken breasts on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Add the remaining more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
  • While the chicken breasts are cooking, chop tomatoes and cut mozzarella balls in half. Mix the tomatoes, cheese and basil in a small bowl. Place over the chicken breasts when serving and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
