Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- kosher salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- dry bread crumbs
- light olive oil for frying
- ricotta cheese
- shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- olive oil
- grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- marinara sauce
- chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Get started by preheating your oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and lining a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Gently pound the chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap until they are an even thickness, then season both sides with salt and pepper before pressing them into a light, even coat of flour.
After clearing any excess flour from your plate, return the chicken to it and pour the beaten egg over the breasts, ensuring each side is thoroughly and beautifully coated.
Spread half of your bread crumbs on a second plate, lay the chicken on top, and then sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the breasts, pressing firmly to create a wonderful, thick crust.
Carefully heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until it is a perfect, crispy golden-brown—about 2 to 3 minutes per side—before transferring it to your prepared baking sheet.
Mix the ricotta, Cheddar, and spices together in a bowl until smooth, then spread this creamy mixture onto the center of each breast, finishing with a dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Bake the chicken on the center rack for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is deliciously melted and the internal temperature reaches a safe 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
To serve your masterpiece, ladle warm marinara sauce in a wide circle on each plate, nestle the chicken in the center, and garnish with a fresh sprinkle of chopped parsley.
