 Ingredients:

For the Chicken Cutlets:
– **Chicken breasts**: 4, boneless and skinless
– **Flour**: 1 cup (125g)
– **Salt and pepper**: to taste
– **Eggs**: 2, beaten
– **Breadcrumbs**: 2 cups (250g) (panko or regular)
– **Parmesan cheese**: 1/2 cup (50g), grated (optional)
– **Olive oil**: for frying

For the Topping:
– **Burrata cheese**: 2 large balls, torn into pieces
– **Cherry tomatoes**: 2 cups (about 300g), halved
– **Fresh basil leaves**: 1/2 cup, torn or chopped
– **Balsamic glaze**: for drizzling
– **Olive oil**: for drizzling
– **Salt and pepper**: to taste

 Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Cutlets:
1. **Flatten the Chicken:**
– Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a large zip-top bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

2. **Coat the Chicken:**
– Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese (if using).
– Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.

3. **Fry the Chicken:**
– Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches.
– Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Assemble the Dish:
4. **Prepare the Topping:**
– While the chicken is cooking, lightly toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. **Top the Chicken:**
– Arrange the fried chicken cutlets on a serving platter. Top each cutlet with pieces of burrata, a generous spoonful of the cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.

6. **Drizzle and Serve:**
– Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a little extra olive oil, if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

7. **Serve:**
– Serve immediately while the chicken is still crispy and the toppings are fresh.
