Chicken Cutlets

Bread

Method

Prepare Chicken Cutlets

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about ½ inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up the breading station. In the first bowl, add flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    In a baking dish, place the fried chicken cutlets. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  4. 8

    Prepare the Bread

    While the chicken is baking, cut the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  5. 9

    Finalize the Dish

    Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven. Place a chicken cutlet on each ciabatta roll, top with fresh basil leaves, and close the roll.
