Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Rinse and trim chicken breasts then cut into cutlets.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper then set aside.
  • Collect four plates for breading station: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, one for mixture of breadcrumbs and ½ cup Parmesan cheese, and one to hold chicken once it is breaded. NOTE: We strongly recommend you weigh your einkorn flour, if possible, for better accuracy. If you don’t have a scale, fluff the flour with a fork before you measure it in a cup.
  • Begin by placing one cutlet into flour, turn to coat completely then pat cutlet to remove all excess flour.
  • Next, dip cutlet into beaten egg, turn to coat completely and allow excess to drip off before transferring to breadcrumb mixture.
  • Then place cutlet in breadcrumb mixture, turn to cover both sides and press lightly to adhere breadcrumbs to chicken. Place breaded cutlet on fourth plate and reserve.
  • Repeat steps with remaining cutlets.
  • Heat ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Fry prepared chicken cutlets until golden brown on both sides (3-4 minutes per side), working in batches if necessary, and set aside.
  • Assemble final dish by coating the bottom of a 9" x 13" casserole dish with enough sauce to cover completely.
  • Place the fried chicken cutlets into casserole dish on top of the sauce and cover chicken with remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle with chopped basil.
  • Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each piece of chicken then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Allow to rest 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

You can bread the chicken up to a day in advance to save a little time!
