Chicken Cutlet

Broccoli Rabe

Optional Long Hots

Method

Chicken Cutlet Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure they are thoroughly covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Broccoli Rabe Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash thoroughly. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. 6

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

    Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

  3. 7

    Sauté the Broccoli Rabe

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the blanched broccoli rabe, salt, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Optional Long Hots Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Long Hots

    Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add long hot peppers and sauté until blistered and softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
