Crispy Baked Chicken with Giardiniera image

Perfectly tender and juicy chicken cutlets are topped with mild or hot giardiniera (your choice!) and provolone cheese. Play around with different crouton flavors for variety. This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite dishes at a local winery's restaurant.

Provided by France C

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups butter and garlic croutons
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup giardiniera
4 slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Pulse croutons in a small food processor until they have a fine consistency. Put flour, eggs, and crouton crumbs into 3 separate shallow dishes.
  • Dip each breast first into flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat chicken in crouton crumbs and set on a plate.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large oven-proof skillet until hot. Fry chicken for 2 minutes, flip, and fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons giardiniera and 1 slice of cheese.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top with parsley before serving.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless chicken breasts, flattened
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs (optional)
4 slices provolone cheese
1 teaspoon butter

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for provolone cheese that is fresh and flavorful, and use long-grain rice that is cooked to al dente.
  • Don't overcook the rice. It should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add the cheese gradually. This will help prevent it from clumping together. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed throughout the rice.
  • Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired. You can also add other ingredients to your liking, such as cooked vegetables, meat, or seafood.
  • Serve immediately. Provolone rice is best served hot and fresh. It can be served as a main course or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Provolone rice is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with fresh rice. With its creamy texture and cheesy flavor, provolone rice is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
