Short Description
Tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich tomato and herb sauce, finished with Parmesan cheese for a classic, comforting Italian-inspired dish.
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breast
8 oz flour
4 oz Italian salad dressing
2 green tomatoes
4 oz flour
4 oz cornmeal
8 oz buttermilk
8 oz oil
6 oz jack cheese
Salsa:
2 cups diced tomato
1 cup corn kernels
½ cup diced onion
1 teaspoon cilantro, dried
2 teaspoons jalapeno peppers, diced
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Start by preparing the salsa: combine the tomatoes, corn, onions, peppers, and cilantro. Allow it to sit for 2-3 hours.
Trim all the fat from the chicken. Marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for 30 minutes. Coat the chicken with flour and lightly fry in oil until it turns golden brown. Finish cooking in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Combine 2 oz of flour with 4 oz of cornmeal in a bowl; place the sliced green tomatoes into this mixture. In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk. Coat the tomatoes, dip them in the buttermilk, and dredge them in the flour mixture again. In the same pan used for the chicken, add more oil and fry the tomatoes until golden brown.
Once the chicken is cooked, place cheese on top and melt in the oven for 2 minutes. Serve the chicken on a plate topped with the green tomatoes and salsa.
