Ingredients

Chicken

1/4 cup Thinly sliced basil leaves
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
8 oz. Fresh mozzarella, cut into 8 slices
6 tbsp. Olive oil
1 cup Crispy bread crumbs
1 tbsp. Water
2 Eggs
1/2 cup All-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

1/4 cup Chopped fresh basil leaves
2 pounds Cherry tomatoes
1/2 tsp. Pepper
Salt
3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp. Packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup Extra-virgin olive oil

Method

01

Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, beat 1/3 cup oil, the vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with whisk. Arrange cherry tomatoes in single layer in ungreased rimmed large baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil mixture over tomatoes; toss to coat. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until tomatoes are softened and brown in spots. Cool 15 minutes.
02

Reserve 1 cup of the tomatoes; transfer remaining tomatoes into the blender. Cover; blend on medium speed until slightly chunky. Transfer to 1-quart saucepan. Add reserved tomatoes and chopped basil. Reheat over low heat about 3 minutes or until hot.
03

Meanwhile, between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with the flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Season chicken breasts with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
04

Place flour in a shallow bowl; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix with a fork to distribute evenly. In another shallow bowl, beat eggs and water until frothy. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture. Coat well with bread crumbs.
05

In 12-inch skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 chicken breasts to oil; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to the same rimmed baking sheet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add remaining chicken breasts to oil; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown; transfer to the same baking sheet. Top each breast with 1/3 cup tomato sauce and 2 slices mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and cheese is melted. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and sliced basil. Serve extra sauce on the side.
