Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Topping

    In a small saucepan, heat the crushed tomatoes over low heat until warmed through.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the cooked chicken cutlets on plates, top with warm crushed tomatoes, a handful of arugula, and sprinkle with grated Grana Padano cheese.
