Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 24 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (rolled or pounded to 1 inch thickness, 6 ounce, I just get my butcher to do it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)

  • 3 cups tomatoes (mulit-colored cherry tomatoes)
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the broiler to high.

  • Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat.

  • Step 3: Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken to the pan; cook for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pan from the heat.

  • Step 4: Combine the panko, cheese, and butter in a bowl. Spread the pesto evenly over the chicken in the pan; top with the panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place in the oven; broil for 2 minutes or until browned.

  • Step 5: Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes; cook for 6 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic; cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and vinegar. Serve with the chicken.
