CRISPY ITALIAN CHICKEN BREAST WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND MOZZARELLA RECIPE (SIP BITE GO)



Crispy Italian Chicken Breast with Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella Recipe (Sip Bite Go) image

My version of crispy Italian chicken breast is seasoned with Italian herbs, Argo® Corn Starch, and flour. Once coated, the chicken is pan fried for a few minutes on each side. It's delicious served with a simple, but impressive marinara sauce made from crushed tomatoes (which I'll teach you how to make). To finish it off, the crispy fried chicken is broiled in the oven for a few minutes with marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella. Then topped with fragrant basil.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 20

28 ounces tomatoes (crushed)
1 tbsp garlic (diced)
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp oregano (dried)
1/2 tsp parsley (dried)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh basil (chopped (optional))
1.5 lb chicken (breast, pounded 1/2" thin)
1 tsp oregano (dried)
1 tsp parsley (dried)
1/4 cup flour (all purpose)
1/4 cup Argo® Corn Starch​
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 lb mozzarella (log cut in 1/2" discs)
1 tbsp fresh basil (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the garlic tomato sauce. In a deep saucepan on medium heat, combine the crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion, oil, oregano, parsley and red pepper flakes. Stir together. Once the sauce begins to boil, turn down to medium-low. Occasionally stir every few minutes while the sauce simmers for 30 minutes. Once it's done, turn off the heat and cover with a lid until the chicken is done. Remove bay leaf. Add fresh basil if desired.
  • Prepare the chicken. First, mix together oregano, parsley, flour, and corn starch, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Coat both sides of the chicken with the mixture.
  • Heat a large pan on medium-high. Add oil and butter to the pan. Once butter melts, add chicken. Brown each side for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Note: do not flip the chicken until the side touching the pan is golden brown. Once each flat side is golden brown, use tongs to hold the chicken while searing the edges for a few seconds. Once the outside is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken is cooked (use a thermometer if you're not sure), turn off the heat. Set the oven broiler on high.
  • Transfer chicken to a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add sauce and mozzarella. Broil on high for 2-5 minutes, checking regularly until cheese melts. Keep an eye on the chicken and parchment paper so it doesn't burn. Top with fresh basil leaves. Serve over pasta or with your favorite side.
