This weeknight dinner is like summer on a plate. We turned the classic Italian salad panzanella, with bread and ripe in-season tomatoes, into a hearty main meal by adding creamy mozzarella and quick-cooking chicken cutlets to the mix.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken cutlets (1 pound total), or 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally (to make 4 cutlets)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 slices sourdough bread (each 1/2 inch thick), crusts removed, torn into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
1 pound mixed tomatoes, such as heirloom and cherry, halved or quartered if large
