Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your workspace with all ingredients ready.
- Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound until about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with garlic, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in egg wash, and finally coat well in panko breadcrumbs.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Fry the breaded chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let rest briefly before topping each breast with burrata cheese and garnishing with fresh basil.
