Start by preparing a butterfly cut chicken breast.

Beat one egg in a bowl.

Coat the chicken breast in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully covered.

Coat the chicken breast in breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure it sticks.

Heat half an inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan until hot.

Test the oil by dipping a small piece of chicken; bubbles should form around it.

Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Top the cooked chicken with chopped cherry tomatoes and rocket salad.

Drizzle with Original Modena Balsamic Cream Vinegar before serving.
