Ingredients

4 Servings

　　4 (7-ounce) chicken breasts, butterflied

　　1/2 cup all-purpose flour

　　Sea salt and cracked black pepper

　　2 eggs

　　1/4 cup milk

　　2 cups matzo meal

　　Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

　　1 (14-ounce) can cherry tomatoes

　　1/4 cup vincotto

　　1 long red chile, sliced

　　1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

　　1/2 pound buffalo mozzarella, torn

　　Store-bought pesto, to serve

　　Baby mint leaves (optional), to serve

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°F. Using a meat mallet, pound each chicken breast to 1/4" thick. Place the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Place the eggs and milk in a separate bowl and whisk to combine. Place the matzo meal in a third bowl. Dust the chicken with the flour, dip into the egg mixture and press into the crumbs to coat.

　　

Step 2

Pour oil into a large frying pan to a depth of 1" and heat over medium heat. Cook the chicken in batches, turning, for 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Place the tomatoes in a bowl and lightly crush with a fork. Add the vincotto, chile, lemon zest, salt and pepper and mix to combine. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and top with the tomato mixture and mozzarella. Roast for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. Divide among serving plates and top with the pesto and mint, if using, to serve.
