Description

Crisp, golden chicken cutlets are topped first with creamy Tallegio cheese, then with prosciutto, and then served with just a spoonful of fresh tomato sauce. The list of ingredients may seem awfully long but the dish comes together very quickly and is well worth the effort.

This is my favorite “go to” dish when I want to pamper myself!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BREADCRUMBS:
  • 3 cups Homemade Breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Chopped Red Hot Chile Pepper (Optional)
  • 3 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper
  • ¼ cups Toasted Pine Nuts
  • _____
  • FOR THE DISH:
  • 4 whole Chicken Cutlets
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 slices Tallegio Cheese (About 12 Ounces)
  • 4 slices Prosciutto
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil For Sauce
  • 2 whole Garlic Cloves, Minced For Sauce
  • 4 cups Ripe Cherry Tomatoes For Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Basil For Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper For Sauce

Preparation

Place the bread cubes, lemon zest, chile pepper, parsley, grated cheese, sea salt and pepper in the food processor. Pulse until finely blended. Add the pine nuts and pulse just until the nuts are coarsely chopped. Place in a shallow bowl.

Beat the eggs and dip the cutlets first into the eggs, then into the breadcrumbs mixture and press with your fingertips to help the crumbs adhere. Refrigerate the chicken for one hour to allow the crumb coating to set.

To prepare the sauce, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until hot. Add the garlic and cook just until it is sizzling. Add the cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil, and cook for about 10 minutes on low heat just until the tomatoes begin to soften and break down. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

To assemble the dish: Place the butter and olive oil in a flat casserole dish or pan large enough to hold all of the cutlets and place the cutlets on top. Cook for 10 minutes until the cutlets are browned on one side and turn. Cook an additional 10 minutes or until the cutlets are cooked through. Place a slice of the cheese on top of each cutlet, and then return to the oven just until the cheese melts. Top with the prosciutto, and serve on individual plates with a scoop of the cherry tomato sauce on each plate.
