Chicken Escalopes With Lemon and Serrano Ham image

Chicken escalopes are flattened chicken breast fillets - they cook quicker than normal breast portions and absorb flavors more readily. Can be assembled in advance. Can substitute boneless chicken thighs for breasts and bacon or prosciutto for serrano ham. If using chicken thighs, spread apart, no need to flatten with rolling pin.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and cracked ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more to taste
¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved, or more to taste
3 medium shallots, sliced
¼ teaspoon taco seasoning, or to taste
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese, or to taste
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking tray.
  • Place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another bowl, and mix panko and Parmesan together in a third bowl.
  • Butterfly chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in panko mix to coat.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot pan and cook until browned and crispy but not fully cooked, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and place on the prepared baking tray.
  • Add more oil to the pan if needed. Add shallots and tomatoes and saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add taco seasoning. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour tomato mixture over the chicken, then dollop with ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
