Additional:

  • 2 lemon wedges
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt
  • 5oz of burrata
  • Shaved parmesan

How to Make It

1. You will need a medium mixing bowl to mix some extra virgin olive oil with balsamic vinegar and honey plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the tomatoes in half and toss them in the dressing to marinate.

2. In a separate small pot or bowl, mix the Italian seasoning with the salt, pepper, onion, and garlic powder.

3. You should get three dishes and fill one with flour and half of the seasoning mix, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the panko and the other half of the seasoning. Also, get a tray ready to rest the breaded chicken on it.

4. Now slice the chicken horizontally into two even pieces and put cling film on top of it. Get a mallet to pound the breasts to even thickness and ensure they are fairly thin but not too much so, or they can break apart.

5. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, egg, and panko bowls in that order, and let them sit on the tray. It’s important to coat the chicken thoroughly.

6. To fry the chicken, fill the base of a large pan with oil and place it over medium heat unit it gets hot. This should happen in five minutes, at which point you can put the chicken in to fry each side for about three minutes until it gets golden and crisp. The center of the chicken should get very hot, so how long you let it sit in the pan depends on how thin the pieces are.

7. To serve, add some lemon juice, a pinch of salt, half a burrata, a spoonful of tomato salad, and some arugula and shaved parmesan.
