Steps:
- For the chicken: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Using 3 wide shallow bowls, add the flour to 1, the eggs to another and to the third bowl combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and thyme.
- On a work surface, put the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, lightly pound the chicken until approximately 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly, then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off. Coat the chicken with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large, nonstick saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of the breaded chicken into the oil and cook until light golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Reserve the cooking juices in the saute pan.
- For the sauce: Using the same saute pan, add the olive oil to the reserved cooking juices and heat over medium heat. Add the fennel and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic and thyme. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the tomatoes are tender. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until the mixture is creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top before serving.
CHICKEN MILANESE WITH TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL SALAD
A classic veal Milanese consists of pounded veal cutlets or chops that have been breaded in crumbs and sometimes Parmesan, then fried until the coating is burnished and brittle. Accompanied by a crisp, bright salad, it's a meal both cooling and rich. In this version, chicken breasts replace the veal, and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella tossed with garlicky basil oil acts as the foil to the meat. If you want to work ahead, you can coat the cutlets in crumbs up to 4 hours ahead. Store them on a wire rack in the fridge. But try to serve them freshly fried when their coating is at its crunchiest.

Steps:
- Lightly season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper; let rest while you make the basil oil.
- In a blender or food processor, combine 2/3 cup oil, basil, garlic and salt to taste; purée until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes and mozzarella with about half of the basil oil and salt to taste. Set aside.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Pour eggs into another shallow dish; combine panko and Parmesan in a third dish.
- In a large skillet, melt butter and remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. As it heats, dip a chicken cutlet in flour, shake off excess, then dip in eggs. Shake off excess, then dip both sides in panko mixture and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
- When oil is hot, fry 2 cutlets at a time until bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and fry until golden and crispy all over, about another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Taste tomato-mozzarella salad and add more salt and-or basil oil if needed. Serve cutlets topped with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of remaining basil oil and tomato-mozzarella salad.

Steps:
- Cut the fennel. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut the stems and fronds off the fennel (reserve ¼ cup of the greens!), then discard any bruised outer layers. Cut the fennel bulb in half lengthwise, then using a paring knife cut out the tough part of the core (you essentially cut a small triangle shape to remove). Thinly slice the fennel and place in a bowl of ice water.
- Set up the breading stations. In a small, shallow container or bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 Tbsp Kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Whisk 3 eggs in a medium bowl to combine. Combine 1 ½ cups panko, ½ cup Parmesan, 2 Tbsp sage, and remaining 1 Tbsp salt in a separate dish.
- Preheat oil. Heat a few tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. The amount of oil will depend on the size of the pan you use -- you need an even layer on the bottom of the pan that goes up approximately ⅛" - ¼" up the side.
- Dredge cutlets in flour. Move chicken to the eggs, turning to coat on all sides, then shake off any excess. Evenly coat cutlets on all sides in panko breadcrumbs. When oil is hot, transfer chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown, but not burned.
- Finish in the oven. Move pan to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through. Chicken is safe to eat at 165F, but you can remove it from the oven when it's reached ~155F - it will continue to cook while it rests.
- Make the salad. While chicken is resting, toss salad greens with 1 Tbsp high quality olive oil in a medium bowl to coat; season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Season the fennel. Drain the fennel and pat dry on a paper towel to remove any excess water. Toss with 1-2 Tbsp olive oil and toss to coat.
- Finish and serve. Season chicken with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle each cutlet with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Mound salad atop chicken, then top with plenty of sliced fennel. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the pounded cutlets evenly on all sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate, shallow bowls. Season the flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the breadcrumbs with 1/2 teaspoon salt. One at a time, dredge the seasoned chicken cutlets in the flour, then the egg mixture finishing with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs are evenly coating the chicken.
- Add the oil to the hot pan and heat another 10 seconds. Add the breaded chicken to the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the first side is deep golden brown and the chicken is beginning to look cooked around the edges. Work in batches if needed. Flip the cutlets and continue to cook on the second side until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes longer. Remove the chicken to a wire rack and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot with 1 or 2 lemon wedges and a small arugula salad, if desired.

CHICKEN MILANESE WITH TOMATO AND FENNEL SALAD
Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, some salt and pepper, garlic and lemon juice. Taste to see that the seasoning is zippy enough, then whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil. Toss the dressing with the tomatoes and fennel. Set aside. If the chicken breasts are very thin, pound them to an even thickness of about 3/8 inch. If they're on the thick side, butterfly them by placing them on the work surface and, with your knife parallel to the counter, cutting them almost in half but not all the way through, so they open like a book. Then pound out any uneven spots so the whole thing is about 3/8 inch thick. Get set up for coating the chicken because this can be messy if you're not organized: Put the flour on a plate, the egg in a shallow bowl or plate, and the crumbs on another plate. Season both sides of a chicken cutlet with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg, and then right into the crumbs, patting to coat the whole thing. Repeat with the other cutlet. Heat a very large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the oil and butter. When the butter stops foaming, add the chicken. (If your skillet isn't large enough to hold both cutlets comfortably, cook them separately, adding more oil and butter as needed.) Saute cutlets until the crust gets nicely browned (about 2 minutes), carefully flip and cook the other side. If the cutlets are thin, they will cook quickly. Be careful not to overcook them. Drain the cutlets for a few seconds on paper towels, then transfer to dinner plates. Add the salad greens and herb sprigs, if using, to the tomatoes and dressing, toss and then place a pile of salad on top of each cutlet. Serve immediately with the lemon wedges. -- From Martha Holmberg, FOODday PER SERVING: calories: 690 (59% from fat); protein: 41.7 grams; total fat: 45 grams; saturated fat: 9.7 grams; cholesterol: 203 mg; sodium: 241 mg; carbohydrate: 30.5 grams; dietary fiber: 3.5 grams

Steps:
- Make the breadcrumbs: Cut crust from baguettes. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes; pulse in a food processor in batches to form coarse crumbs (this should yield 5 to 6 cups). Spread on a rimmed baking sheet; dry at room temperature for at least an hour or as long as overnight.
- Prepare the chicken: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Working with one at a time, place chicken breasts on a cutting board, flat side down. Press down on chicken with the palm of one hand, and cut in half horizontally to make 2 cutlets.
- With the flat side of a meat pounder, pound chicken between pieces of plastic wrap until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Lightly beat 3 large eggs in a medium bowl. Place 2/3 cup all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs in 2 separate wide, shallow dishes. Season eggs, flour, and chicken with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dip into flour, turning to coat and shaking off excess. Dip into egg, and lift out, letting excess drip off. Dip into breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to help them adhere. Transfer to a plate or pan, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. If needed, separate layers with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet (oil should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch deep) over medium-high heat until shimmering; a breadcrumb should sizzle instantly when dropped into oil. Gently place 2 cutlets 3/4 to 1 inch apart in skillet, and fry until undersides are golden brown, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Flip cutlets, and fry until cooked through and golden brown on other side, about 2 1/2 minutes more (chicken should feel firm).
- Cutlets less than 1/4 inch thick will take 1 to 2 minutes less. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet, and pat off excess oil. Lightly sprinkle with coarse salt, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining cutlets, skimming brown bits and adding more oil if necessary. Aside from a squeeze of fresh lemon, a simple salad is all you need with chicken Milanese.
