Ingredients

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 10 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 15-ounce can tomato puree
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese (about 6 ounces)

Method

  1. Split each chicken breast horizontally into two cutlets. Place between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Warm 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the garlic and red pepper flakes for about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and 1 cup water, then simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir 1/4 cup Parmesan and the basil into the sauce. Spread 1/2 cup sauce in a 3-quart flameproof baking dish and preheat the broiler.
  4. Season the flour with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in one shallow dish. In another, beat the eggs with 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat two cutlets in flour, then egg, and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Move them to the baking dish; add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and repeat with the other cutlets.
  6. Mix the mozzarella with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Layer half the cheese over the chicken, followed by the remaining sauce and cheese. Broil until melted, about 2 minutes.
