Italian Basil Chicken Cutlets with Tomato and Burrata Topping

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Cutlets:

2 large chicken breasts, halved and pounded thin

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

For the Tomato Topping:

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Burrata:

1 ball burrata cheese, drained

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions:

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, basil, and garlic powder.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add cherry tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly saucy.

Top each chicken cutlet with the warm tomato mixture.

Place burrata on top of the tomato layer, letting it slightly melt over the warm chicken.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
