Clock

Ingredients

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • ¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, finely chopped
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss together tomatoes, garlic, and 1 Tbsp oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 to 45 minutes or until tomatoes are lightly browned and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, cut chicken in half crosswise, and pound to ½-inch thickness in a zip-top plastic bag using the heel of your hand or a meat mallet; season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Beat egg lightly in a shallow bowl. Stir together breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a second shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg, letting excess drip off. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Cook chicken in 2 Tbsp hot oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done. Top each piece with 1 slice mozzarella; let stand until melted.
  5. Divide chicken between 2 plates; spoon roasted tomatoes over chicken, and sprinkle with basil.
