Mediterranean Fried Chicken with Artichoke Salad
We coat tender chicken breasts with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs before cooking them up golden brown in a splash of light olive oil. The results are crisp and tasty you won't even miss the skin! Served with a salad of artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives and fresh basil, this dish is Mediterranean in flavor, style, and healthful attitude.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (about 2 jars) store-bought marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- 3 plum tomatoes, cut into thin rounds
- 1/2 cup sliced and pitted
- kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup tightly packed basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- Olive oil, for frying
1. Make the salad: Combine the artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives, basil, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and pepper in a nonreactive bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.
2. Make the chicken: Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken breast half in the eggs and then in the bread crumb mix.
3. In a large skillet set over medium heat, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil until it ripples. Add the chicken breasts and saute until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot, topped with the artichoke salad and alongside Zucchini with White Beans and Mint, if desired.
