Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ciabatta baguette
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 ball burrata cheese
- Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling)
- Pesto (for drizzling)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 16 oz cherry tomatoes
- 3 tomatoes on the vine
- 2 bulbs garlic
- Olive oil (for roasting and frying)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C).
- Toss cherry tomatoes, quartered tomatoes on the vine, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper in an oven-safe dish. Roast for 40–50 minutes until soft.
- Squeeze softened garlic into a blender, add roasted tomatoes, heavy cream, and basil, then blend until smooth.
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Set up three bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Toast ciabatta in a skillet or under the broiler until golden.
- Spread creamy tomato sauce on toasted ciabatta, add fried chicken, more sauce, torn burrata, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Drizzle with pesto, close the sandwich, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For a lighter version, pan-sear the chicken instead of frying. Customize with a gluten-free option or add herbs to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
