Ingredients

This classic Italian dish gets a fresh lift from homemade relish featuring tomatoes, basil, and capers. If you have a hearty appetite, you can divide the chicken and pasta into four portions instead of eight.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°.

Combine panko and Parmesan. Place panko mixture, flour, and eggs separately in three shallow dishes. Cut each chicken breast in half; season with salt and pepper. Dredge cutlets in flour, egg, and panko mixture.

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken, turning once, until golden, 23 minutes per side. Remove cutlets to a baking sheet; top each with 1 Tbsp. mozzarella. Cook cutlets in oven until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Combine tomatoes, basil, capers, vinegar, tomato paste, and 1 Tbsp. oil for relish in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken over Pesto Pasta; top with relish.

Pound chicken in a resealable plastic bag with a little water. Water keeps the chicken from sticking or tearing.
