Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 25

4 chicken breasts
1 large egg
3 tbsp plain (all-purpose flour (replace with gluten free flour blend if needed))
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (peeled and sliced)
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 cup (160g) sun dried tomatoes (I like the bright red one from the deli counter)
1 red bell pepper (de-seeded and sliced)
1 tbsp tomato puree ((paste))
1/3 cup (90ml) white wine
1 cup (240ml) chicken stock ((use bouillon for gluten free))
pinch of salt and pepper
1/3 cup (90ml) double (heavy) cream
1/2 packed cup (50g) parmesan cheese (grated)
3 packed cups (90g) fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Trim the chicken breasts to remove any fatty parts.
  • Whisk the egg lightly in a shallow bowl.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and garlic salt.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large frying pan (skillet) on a medium-to-high heat.
  • Dip the chicken breasts in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.
  • Place the chicken in the pan and fry on both sides until golden.
  • Take the chicken out of the pan and place on a tray in the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking whilst you make the sauce.
  • Add the oil to the pan and heat on a medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add the garlic, oregano, paprika, sun dried tomatoes, red pepper and tomato puree. Cook for 2 minutes, moving around the pan with a spatula.
  • Next pour in the wine and allow to bubble for 2 minutes,
  • Now add the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cream, parmesan and the spinach to the sauce and stir and cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven. Check it's done (insert a knife into the fattest piece of one of the chicken breasts - it should no longer be pink) and place in the pan with the sauce and cook for another couple of minutes.
  • Serve topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Tastes great with pasta, courgetti (zoodles), rice or saute potatoes.

1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 -3 dashes nutmeg
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250ºF.
  • Make a paste for the cutlets by placing the garlic into a bowl with a small pinch of salt.
  • Using a spoon, mash the salt and garlic together into a paste.
  • Add in the lemon juice, parsley, hot sauce and some freshly ground black pepper, and reserve.
  • Flatten the chicken breasts into cutlets by butterflying each piece.
  • Open each breast up and pound them out by placing them into a large zipper bag one at a time with a small amount of water.
  • Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as you can.
  • Pound the chicken with a small, cast iron skillet until it's evenly thin.
  • As you finish each breast, place them into another large plastic zipper bag or mixing bowl.
  • Once all the breasts are pounded out, add the garlic paste to the zipper bag or bowl and toss the chicken around to coat it evenly.
  • Marinate for about 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is marinating, prepare the raw sauce by combining the mango, plum tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, some salt and freshly ground black pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Toss everything to combine and set aside until you're ready to serve.
  • When the chicken is done marinating, set up three pans on the counter.
  • In one pan add the flour.
  • In the second pan, beat the eggs with a couple teaspoons of water.
  • In the third pan, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, nutmeg and lemon zest.
  • Bread the cutlets by first tossing them in the flour, then dipping them in the beaten egg, then coating them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing on each breast lightly to make sure everything sticks.
  • Reserve the coated breasts on a plate.
  • Place a large skillet over medium high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons.
  • Once hot, cook the cutlets in batches until golden brown on each side and cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side, adding more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
  • As each cutlet finishes cooking, transfer them to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while the others finish.
  • Serve the cutlets with the raw sauce over top.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken cutlets are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
  • For a crispy crust, dredge the chicken cutlets in flour before searing them in hot oil.
  • Use a combination of olive oil and butter to sear the chicken cutlets. This will give them a rich, flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken cutlets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • To make the red sauce, use a variety of fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give the sauce a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Simmer the red sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the chicken cutlets with the red sauce, Parmesan cheese, and a side of pasta or vegetables.

Tuscan Farmhouse Chicken Cutlets with Red Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken cutlets are crispy and flavorful, and the red sauce is rich and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
