step by step

Method

  1. Preheat the oven

    • Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
    Step 1

  2. Make the chili-oil mixture

    • In a baking dish you can serve from, add the olive oil, grated cheese, Calabrian chili, salt, grated garlic, lemon juice and oregano.
    • Mix everything together with a fork or small whisk.
    Step 2

  3. Coat the chicken

    • Coat each piece of thinly sliced chicken in the mixture, turning to cover both sides.
    Step 3

  4. Prepare the breadcrumb topping

    • In a bowl, mix the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with the melted butter.
    • Do not add extra salt, as seasoned breadcrumbs are already salty.
    Step 4

  5. Top and bake the chicken

    • Top each piece of chicken with the breadcrumb mixture.
    • Bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74 °C (165 °F).
    • For crispier breadcrumbs, broil for the last 2 minutes maximum.
    Step 5

  6. Make the tomato salad

    • Cut the tomatoes into wedges and slice the red onion thinly with a mandoline, using the guard.
    • Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt, and mix well.
    • Top with the fresh basil just before serving, without mixing it in ahead of time.
    Step 6

  7. Serve
