Method
Chicken Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Butterfly the chicken breasts to make them thinner for even cooking. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Breading Process
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let them rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Topping Preparation
Prepare the Toppings
While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese. Rinse the arugula and pat dry.
Assemble the Dish
On each fried chicken breast, layer the arugula, sliced tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Top with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
