Chef's notes

This is a variation of the basic Panko Breaded recipe above. This recipe can be made with panko or traditional Italian style bread crumbs. As above, can easily be made Gluten Free. 

Chicken breasts are butterflied and pounded thin between wax paper. Flattened breasts are breaded using the traditional three step coating process, flour, egg mixture and crumbs. Chicken is oven baked and finished with an intensely delicious parmigiana and prosciutto topping.

Ingredients will make 4 large half breasts will serve up to six. Each breast can be sliced in halves or thirds before serving.

  2. Prepare the Parmigiana/Prosciutto spread simply by combining all three ingredients in a bowl.

  3. Preheat oven to 350° direct heat, not convection. Coat the bottom of a sided cookie sheet well with olive oil. Place chicken in a single layer. 

  4. Place on a low oven shelf. The bottom crust is lightly browned, in about 10 to 12 minutes, remove from oven. Flip chicken over and spread the parmigiana/prosciutto spread on their tops. Place tray back in the center of the oven until chicken is cooked through and topping has browned (adjust shelf height if needed. Serve immediately.
