Bruschetta Chicken Cutlets with a Balsamic Maple Sauce

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Crispy Chicken Cutlet. Melty Buffalo Mozzarella. Super fresh vibrant Bruschetta. Balsamic Maple Glaze. Are you hungry yet?

This will be your new favorite dish that comes together in no time!

CHICKEN CUTLET PROCESS:

Start off by pounding out some chicken breast pretty thin. I like to put together a dredge station so that the process goes super smooth.

The dredge station:

  • Plate of Cassava Flour
  • Plate of Bread Crumb
  • Shallow bowl with beaten eggs

I used Aleias Italian breadcrumbs for this and its a cleaner gluten free option. I dip the chicken in the cassava flour, then egg, then the bread crumb. Pro tip for you: use a dry hand and a wet hand. I also like to use a fork for the egg dipping process for a cleaner breading experience.

The cheese used was a gorgeous buffalo mozzarella. I like to buy the ovalini size that you could find at most grocery stores. Cut it into thin slices and top on the chicken cutlets once they are done frying. Make sure to not eat the whole ball before topping! The stuff is seriously addicting!

THE BRUSCHETTA:

A solid bruschetta essentially comes down to the ingredients you are using! This is not a time to skimp out on the tomato quality since you want a vibrant fresh bruschetta. Find some gorgeous Beefsteak tomatoes, basil, and some onion. I like to throw a little salt, garlic, and pepper in then this is complete. I like to start off by making the bruschetta first then the flavors really come together when it sits in the fridge for a bit.

Lets get to cooking!

Scale

Ingredients

THE CHICKEN

  • 1 1/2 – 2 lbs chicken breast
  • cassava flour
  • Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, I used gluten free Aleias.
  • 2 eggs
  • 2–3 big buffalo mozzarella balls
  • 1 cup avocado oil

THE BRUSCHETTA

  • 6 big vine ripened tomatoes or beefsteak, diced
  • 1 cup loosely packed basil, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt, taste and add more salt as needed
  • 1/4 tsp pepper.

BALSAMIC MAPLE SAUCE

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

 


Instructions

THE CHICKEN STEPS

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Start off by cutting the tenderloin off of the breast. Β Then cut the chicken breasts in half and butterfly each half. Β Lightly pound out the chicken breast pieces so that they are pretty thin. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with a little pepper and a nice sprinkle of salt and set aside.
  3. Build your dredging station by getting a plate of cassava flour, plate of the breadcrumbs, and a shallow bowl. Β Beat the eggs and set aside. Β I like to just sprinkle the cassava flour and breadcrumbs so there is a nice layer of each on the plate. Β Then sprinkle more as needed during the breading process.
  4. Dredge the chicken in the cassava flour and shake off any excess. Dip both sides of the chicken in the egg then dredge in the bread crumbs. Β Set aside.
  5. Get a dutch oven or fry safe pot and add in 1 cup of Avocado oil. Β Heat up to 360-375 degrees then drop the chicken cutlets working in batches. Β Fry chicken for 2 minutes each side then remove from pot and add chicken pieces to a large casserole dish. Β Repeat process until all of the chicken is cooked.
  6. Top the chicken cutlets with a nice layer of the buffalo mozzarella slices. Β Bake for 10-15 minutes. Β Once the cheese starts to melt, broil on high for 3-5 minutes. Β You want there to be some nice color and the cheese to be fully melted. Β Keep eyes on this step since the cheese bubbles up quick!

BRUSCHETTA STEPS

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized bowl and toss. Β Let this sit in the fridge while making the chicken so that the flavors come together.

BALSAMIC MAPLE SAUCE STEPS

  1. Grab a small saucepan and get on medium heat. Β Add in the Balsamic Vinegar and Maple Syrup. Β Give it a nice stir and continue to stir from time to time. Β Let this come to a boil and it will start to thicken up. Β Continue to stir and once glaze consistency, remove from heat and add to a bowl. Β This will take about 8-10 minutes.

PLATING

  1. Add a piece of that gorgeous chicken to a plate. Β Top with a nice layer of the bruschetta and spoon over some of the glaze. Β

Today is my 31st bday so had to spend it with my lovers πŸ• and 🍡! It was also time to update my profile picture and I wanted one that signified Paleoish to me. The pizza represents how I’m fine with not being perfect. Life is all about balance and not beating yourself up when you have some ish in your life. The matcha represents my healthy routine. This is my definition of balance and I think it’s ever changing as well depending on what you are wanting. 
β€”
This year I look forward to putting myself out there more and sharing more of the journey of Paleoish and what it’s all about! It’s scary putting yourself out there and it’s so easy to just hide behind the camera. The whole point of why I started this account was to show you guys my life but I got into the routine of strictly food photos and got comfortable. I look forward to changing that this year and  I really want to stop overthinking things as much and live in the present more. Last year was crazy and shows us what could happen in a short period of time. Time goes by fast so let’s all enjoy the moments more! Love you all and thanks for all of the support! πŸ™πŸ™
