Ingredients

Servings:4
  • Chicken breast(600 g)
  • Salt(1½ tsp)
  • Black pepper(1 tsp)
  • All-Purpose Flour(6 tbsp)
  • Eggs(2)
  • Panko(120 g)
  • Parmesan(100 g)
  • Garlic powder(1 tsp)
  • Olive oil(4 tbsp)
  • Arugula(100 g)
  • Cherry Tomatoes(250 g)
  • Lemon(1)
  • Dijon Mustard(1 tsp)
  • Balsamic Glaze(1 tbsp)

Method

  1. 1

    Slice the {Chicken breast} horizontally into 4 thin cutlets, then gently pound to an even thickness. Season both sides with {Salt} and {Black pepper}.

    ~8 min

  2. 2

    Set up 3 shallow bowls: one with {Flour}, one with beaten {Eggs}, and one with {Panko Breadcrumbs}, {Parmesan}, and {Garlic powder} mixed together. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, then egg, then the breadcrumb mixture, pressing well so it sticks.

    ~10 min

  3. 3

    Heat half the {Olive oil} in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook 2 cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, adding more oil if needed. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken and oil.

    ~14 min

  4. 4

    Halve the {Cherry Tomatoes}. In a large bowl, whisk the juice of the {Lemon} with {Dijon Mustard}, {Balsamic vinegar}, and 1 tbsp of the pan-side {Olive oil}. Toss with the {Rocket} and tomatoes.

    ~6 min

  5. 5

    Serve each chicken cutlet with a pile of rocket salad and shave or grate over the remaining {Parmesan}. Add lemon wedges from the zested {Lemon} alongside if you like.

    ~2 min
