Breaded Chicken with Tomatoes

I am seriously not a tomato fan, but there's something about the tang of the tomatoes in this recipe that just goes so perfectly with the chicken. It's heavenly.  Reminds me of a sweet and tangy bruschetta sauce, and adds such a bright flavor to the classic Parmesan breaded chicken.

Despite the long list of ingredients, this Breaded Chicken with Tomatoes recipe is actually pretty easy.  Start by pounding out your chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer to about ¼-inch thick. If your chicken breasts are very large (like most of the chicken breasts I see in stores these days), cut them into separate pieces.  Each portion should be about 4-6 ounces and close to the size of your palm before pounding.  To cut down on mess, place chicken between two baggies to flatten, or sometimes I'll even put the chicken in the baggy to do it.

Now it's time to bread.  You need 3 bowls:

  • Bowl #1: Flour
  • Bowl #2: Beaten eggs
  • Bowl #3: Bread crumbs, Parmesan, oregano, salt and pepper, whisked together.

Now dip the chicken in each like an assembly line. First dip it in flour, then in eggs, then in the bread crumbs mix. Then just set it aside. This chicken is quickly pan-fried, which I love, especially in the Summer so I don't have to turn my oven on!

While the chicken is cooking, I like to whip up the tomatoes. It should take just about 5-7 minutes to cook.  First, you add oil to a small or medium saucepan (the bigger the pan, the faster it cooks, in my experience). When the oil is hot saute the garlic until fragrant and golden.  This wil help cut the bitterness from the garlic and give it a nice sweet flavor.  Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, and cook for about 2 more minutes.  The tomatoes will just be beginning to burst.

Serve chicken with a scoop of the tomatoes drizzled on top. This breaded chicken with tomatoes goes nicely with pasta or a rice pilaf, and a leafy green salad.
