Parmesan Chicken Paillards With Cherry Tomato Sauce image

This recipe is a hit in our house! It is easy to whip up and has all the taste of chicken parmesan without all the calories and fat. To save time, I cut up the tomatoes while the chicken is cooking. From Cooking Light March 2007.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
cooking spray
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped (I use frozen chopped onion, unthawed)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or a small heavy skillet.
  • Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.
  • Combine cheese and flour in a shallow dish. Dredge one side of each chicken breast in the cheese mixture.
  • Heat 1 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 chicken breast halves, cheese side down; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and chicken breast halves.
  • Remove from pan; keep warm.
  • Carefully wipe any browned bits from the pan using a paper towel.
