Ingredients
- 2 boneless (skinless chicken breasts (16 oz))
- 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 large eggs or egg whites (beaten)
- 8 ounces fresh Bocconcini mozzarella halved
- 1/2 cup + 2 TBSP seasoned breadcrumbs* (or gluten free crumbs)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 cups mixed baby greens
- kosher salt and fresh pepper
- Balsamic Glaze or Simple Balsamic dressing (combine equal parts balsamic and extra virgin olive oil with salt to taste. (extra))
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally so you end up with 4 thin pieces of chicken.
- Slice the chicken cutlets. Arrange the baby greens in the center of the platter. Place the chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil all round.
- Working with 1 piece of chicken at a time, pound chicken until 1/4-inch thick. Set aside and repeat with the remaining 3 pieces.
- If making ahead, cover tight with plastic and keep chilled until ready to eat.
- Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Or plate them individually if not making a platter, 1 piece chicken, 2 oz cheese and divide the salad.
- Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. In another bowl beat eggs.
- Serve with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette (not included in n.i.).
- Dip cutlets in egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. If cooking in two batches, add half of the butter and olive oil.
- When butter melts, add the cutlets and cook about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat.
Notes
- Variations:
- *2 TBSP get tossed after breading, deducted from n.i.
- *2 TBSP get tossed after
- Add extra veggies like avocado, cucumber, or red onion.
- Make it in the air fryer following the same cook method as this Air Fryer Chicken Milanese.
- If you’re a vegetarian, use tofu and slice into thin cutlets.
- Instead of serving with a balsamic vinaigrette, use balsamic glaze, which you can purchase or make at home.
