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!

Description

Crispy Chicken Cutlets topped with bubbly buffalo mozzarella finished with a delicious Bruschetta and Balsamic Maple Sauce to complete this crowd pleaser dinner.  Give it a try!


Ingredients

Scale

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.  Then cut the chicken breasts in half and butterfly each half.  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.  Beat the eggs and set aside.  I like to just sprinkle the cassava flour and breadcrumbs so there is a nice layer of each on the plate.  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.  Set aside.
  5. Get a dutch oven or fry safe pot and add in 1 cup of Avocado oil.  Heat up to 360-375 degrees then drop the chicken cutlets working in batches.  Fry chicken for 2 minutes each side then remove from pot and add chicken pieces to a large casserole dish.  Repeat process until all of the chicken is cooked.
  6. Top the chicken cutlets with a nice layer of the buffalo mozzarella slices.  Bake for 10-15 minutes.  Once the cheese starts to melt, broil on high for 3-5 minutes.  You want there to be some nice color and the cheese to be fully melted.  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.  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.  Add in the Balsamic Vinegar and Maple Syrup.  Give it a nice stir and continue to stir from time to time.  Let this come to a boil and it will start to thicken up.  Continue to stir and once glaze consistency, remove from heat and add to a bowl.  This will take about 8-10 minutes.

PLATING

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

Beefy 5 Layer Taco Dip Recipe 🌮 🥑 

So pumped March Madness is finally here!  @goodfoods and I partnered up to kick off the tournament with a super tasty dip recipe!  This will definitely be a party favorite.  Recipe is below and good luck to your teams playing!

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
1 LG vine ripened tomato, seeds removed and diced
1 can sliced black olives
LG @goodfoods Chunky Guacamole Container
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz sour cream
taco seasoning packet
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
arrowroot slurry (1 tsp arrowroot + 1 tsp water combined)

STEPS

Start off by preparing the ground beef taco mixture.  Saute the diced onion in some oil for 3-5 minutes.  Add in the ground beef and break up into small chunks.  Cook until browned.  Add in the 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.  Mix up then add in the chicken broth and saute for a few minutes.  Let this reduce a bit then drop the heat to low.  Add in the slurry and stir until it begins to thicken.  Drop the heat to a simmer and pull from the heat and add to a bowl once the liquid is gone.  Let this cool off for a bit.

Add 1 cup of sour cream to a bowl and mix in the taco seasoning packet until combined.

Grab a medium sized bowl or casserole dish and scoop the ground beef for the first layer.  Depending how big your bowl or dish is, scoop only the amount needed to create a nice layer.  Now do a layer of the sour cream mixture.  Now do a nice layer of the good foods chunky guacamole.  Sprinkle on the cheese then top with the tomato and black olives.  Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or make a taco salad bowl with it!

Random thought of the day…. Fried Brussels Sprouts are 100% worth all the gas. Do you agree?

They are also one of the easiest things to make! I like to cut the ends off then I quarter them. Save those outer leaves to fry as well. Add a pot with 1 cup Avocado oil and heat to 325. Fry them for a few minutes on each side until they start to brown. Add them to a wire rack to drain the oil then add them to a bowl and season with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I also made a pomegranate maple reduction that paired beautifully with these! All I did was boiled down some pomegranate juice, a few tbsp of maple syrup, and a splash of rice wine vinegar until it turned into a nice glaze consistency.

Hope you guys enjoy!

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED SHRIMP 🍤 

I had some leftover prosciutto from Thanksgiving so wanted to do something fun with it. I gave this a try and it was a home run! Literally just clean and dry your shrimp then cut prosciutto slices into thirds. Wrap one of the pieces around the shrimp and ensure you overlap the prosciutto and it should stick to itself.

Get a pan on medium heat with a few tbsp of EVOO in there. Add the shrimp and sear for 2-3 min each side depending how big the shrimp are. Top with some fresh cracked pepper and a sprinkle of salt.

I made a spicy mustard dipping sauce to pair it with that consisted of a few scoops of Mayo, drizzle of white wine vinegar, small pour of Calabrian chili oil, some Dijon mustard, and some honey.
