Chicken Milanese With Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Salad image

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds pounds chicken cutlets, pounded 1/4-inch thick
1 pinches Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed
2/3 cup cup plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup basil leaves
1 clove fat garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 pieces large eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 wedges Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Lightly season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper; let rest while you make the basil oil.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine oil, basil, garlic and salt to taste; purée until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes and mozzarella with about half of the basil oil and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Place flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Pour eggs into another shallow dish; combine panko and Parmesan in a third dish.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter and remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. As it heats, dip a chicken cutlet in flour, shake off excess, then dip in eggs. Shake off excess, then dip both sides in panko mixture and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • When oil is hot, fry 2 cutlets at a time until bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and fry until golden and crispy all over, about another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
  • Taste tomato-mozzarella salad and add more salt and/or basil oil if needed. Serve cutlets topped with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of remaining basil oil and tomato-mozzarella salad.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I omitted them from the salad. The chicken and mozzarella were still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken milanese, but this recipe was really good. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
