Chicken Cutlets
Crisp
Delicious Chicken Cutlets topped with a spicy tomato sauce is a great summertime dish. I like using fresh bread crumbs on most occasions but especially for this dish. You can easily balance out the flavors by adding your own herbs and spices to the bread crumbs.
The sauce for this chicken dish should also be made using fresh ingredients. Vine ripened tomatoes and fresh basil and parsley is what turns this recipe into a refreshing meal. By adding a little crushed red pepper to the tomatoes you get a burst of unexpected flavor that goes very well with the chicken.
The Chicken Cutlet should be pounded nice and thin and basically made Milanese style. The sauce should be chunky like an Italian salsa not like your normal gravy used on spaghetti. I would definitely serve this dish with a nice salad. Keep it light, fresh and simple. Enjoy!
