Instructions
- Prepare the bruschetta topping first. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, minced garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 to 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Toss again. Add in the fresh basil and toss. Set aside while you make the chicken.
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. You want THIN slices - ones you can almost see through! I get 3 to 5 thin slices from one chicken breast. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs and parmesan in another plate or bowl.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I like to heat the oil for a good 5 minutes before adding the chicken. Watch the heat the entire time - if it seems to be too hot, make sure to lower it!
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
- Add the chicken 2 to 3 pieces at a time. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. This should cook the chicken the entire way through, but take the temperature to make sure it is 165 degrees F inside if you’re unsure. Remove each piece of chicken and place it on the paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Place the chicken on a platter and top it with the bruschetta topping. Serve!
