Chicken Bruschetta - Cooked by Julie episode 341

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is often less expensive and still provides acidity.

Dice the white onions to the same size as the tomatoes, and remove the seeds from the tomatoes before dicing them.

In a bowl, combine diced onions, tomatoes, and fresh basil. Pour in a little olive oil and a couple of splashes of balsamic vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then mix and taste for seasoning.

Place the tomato mixture in the fridge to chill.

In a saucepan, pour in balsamic vinegar and cook over medium-low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes until it reduces by half.

Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

Coat the chicken on both sides with all-purpose flour, then dip it in a mixture of 2 whisked eggs, and finally coat it with seasoned breadcrumbs, removing any excess flour and egg.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken on each side for about 5 minutes until it is crispy and golden brown.

Use clean tongs to remove the chicken from the skillet to avoid cross-contamination, and let it cook for an additional minute if needed for color.

Spoon the chilled tomato mixture generously over the fried chicken and drizzle with the balsamic glaze from earlier.
