Chicken Cutlet

Bacon

Goat Cheese Spread

Bruschetta

Balsamic Reduction

Method

Chicken Cutlet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by placing chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pounding them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Bacon

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon strips until crispy over medium heat. Remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.

Goat Cheese Spread

  1. 5

    Make the Goat Cheese Spread

    In a bowl, combine goat cheese, cream cheese, honey, and fresh thyme. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Bruschetta

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bruschetta Topping

    Dice the roma tomatoes and finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt to taste. Mix gently to combine.

Balsamic Reduction

  1. 7

    Make the Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a chicken cutlet. Spread a generous amount of the goat cheese spread on top, followed by the crispy bacon. Spoon the bruschetta topping over the bacon and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
