To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the chicken cutlets:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

For the tomato sauce:

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare the chicken cutlets by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until thickened.
Once the chicken cutlets are cooked, transfer them to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through. Serve the crispy chicken cutlets with the tomato sauce on top.
This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The crispy chicken cutlets are juicy and flavorful, while the tomato sauce adds a tangy and savory element. The combination of textures and flavors is sure to impress your guests.
