A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Caprese, this recipe combines tender chicken with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Tear or chiffonade the basil and mix it with the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Use fresh and ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Slice each breast in half horizontally. Place each piece between plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking.
Dredge each chicken piece in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Let them rest on a rack for 10 minutes.
Allowing the coating to rest helps it adhere better during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Top the chicken with the tomato mixture and mozzarella cubes. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional basil if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Serve with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
