• 2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned, halved
• 3/4 c. Panko Italian bread crumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 medium Vidalia onion
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 1 (8 oz.) Jar tomato sauce (your favorite or Barilla Baking Sauce)
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 c. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 4 slices (4 oz.) Provolone cheese
• 1/2 c. grated Parmesan/Romano/Mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Place chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper and place on cutting board or other hard surface.

Gently pound chicken with meat mallet until chicken is about 1/4 inch thick. Pound from the center of the breast outward in each direction.

Repeat with remaining chicken making 4 cutlets.

Rinse the cutlets in cool water and place on a large plate.

Place the Italian Panko bread crumbs on a large plate.

In a shallow bowl, beat egg until yoke is mixed well. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture then coat with panko bread crumbs.

In small saucepan, heat tomato sauce, stirring occasionally.

In a medium skillet, saute the chopped onion and pepper mixture adding 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil and garlic powder.

Cook until both the onion and pepper are lightly browned but not soft.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until it starts to ripple.

Add cutlets and cook until crisp and golden brown on one side, approximately 6 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 2 to 3 minutes more until the chicken is no longer pink.

Place the chicken cutlets in a baking dish. Top each cutlet with a slice of Provolone cheese.

Cover baking dish to melt cheese, about 2 minutes. Place cutlet on serving plate then top with onion and pepper mixture. Serve with sauce and Parmesan/Romano/Mozzarella cheeses.

Tip:

If you dip your cutlets in flower before placing in the egg will change the texture and taste, so do a test to see if you prefer the double dip.

These chicken cutlets make a fantastic lunch when served up as a chicken cutlet sandwich!
