It’s perfect for date nights, dinner parties, or any time you’re craving something crispy, fresh, and indulgent.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Crispy and juicy – Perfectly fried chicken cutlets with a crunchy golden crust.

Bright and fresh – Tomato, basil, lemon, and burrata bring vibrant flavor and contrast.

Impressively easy – Big wow factor, but surprisingly simple to make.

Customizable – Great on its own or served over pasta, greens, or crusty bread.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Chicken breasts – Pounded thin for quick, even cooking and juicy results.

Panko breadcrumbs – Adds a crispy Italian-style coating.

Cherry tomatoes – Bursts of sweetness that blister beautifully in the pan.

Fresh basil – Sliced into ribbons (chiffonade) for fragrant herbaceous flavor.

Burrata – Ultra-creamy cheese that melts into the warm tomato topping.

Balsamic glaze – Sweet-tart finishing touch that ties everything together.

Garlic, lemon juice & zest, dry white wine – For layers of flavor in the tomato topping.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Pound evenly – This helps the cutlets cook uniformly and stay tender.

Don’t skip the dredge – Flour, egg, and panko create that ultra-crisp coating.

Blister tomatoes properly – Let them sit in the hot pan before stirring for charred flavor.

Serve immediately – Best enjoyed when the cutlets are hot and crispy.

How to Make Crispy Chicken Cutlets with Tomato Basil Topping & Burrata

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Place 4 chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound thin with a meat mallet.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2: Bread the Chicken
Prepare three bowls: one bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs

Step 3: Fry the Cutlets
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet, fry each cutlet

Step 4: Make the Tomato Basil Top
Using the same pan, add olive oil and cherry tomatoes, leave undisturbed for a few minutes until crisp.

Add garlic and salt, cook a little longer then deglaze.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve
Arrange chicken cutlets on a serving plate.

Top with tomato basil mixture and torn pieces of burrata.

Drizzle with 2 tbsp balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

What to Serve It With

Garlic bread or focaccia – To mop up that juicy topping.

Simple arugula salad – Adds peppery freshness.

Pasta or risotto – Makes it a more filling main course.

Variations & Substitutions

Swap burrata for mozzarella – Still creamy and delicious.

Use boneless thighs – For a richer, juicier option.

Add chili flakes – If you want a touch of heat.

Make it gluten-free – Use GF panko and flour alternatives.

Storage Tips

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat cutlets in the oven at 375°F for 10–12 minutes to keep crisp.

Freeze breaded but uncooked cutlets for up to 1 month; fry from frozen.

FAQs

Can I make the cutlets ahead of time?
Yes! Bread them and refrigerate (uncooked) for up to 1 day before frying.

What if I don’t have burrata?
Fresh mozzarella or whipped ricotta also work beautifully.

Can I bake the cutlets instead of frying?
Yes—bake at 425°F for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through.

How do I chiffonade basil?
Stack the leaves, roll tightly, and slice thinly for elegant ribbons.

Is the wine necessary?
It enhances flavor, but you can skip it or use a splash of broth.

Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely—just fry the cutlets in batches and keep warm in the oven.
