NACHO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss the tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Toss the chicken with the chili powder and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add the chicken and cook, flipping, until well browned but not fully cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and top evenly with the cheese. Broil until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Combine the yogurt and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Stir in the lime zest and a pinch of salt.
• Divide the salad among plates and top with the chicken and tortilla chips. Drizzle with the lime yogurt and sprinkle with cilantro and pepper.

CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH BURRATA AND MELTED BABY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Lightly sprinkle salt over the chicken thighs, then dredge 1 seasoned chicken thigh in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off the excess flour, then dip the thigh into the seasoned egg wash, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let the excess egg mixture drip off, then dip the thigh into the panko mixture, pressing down to coat the chicken thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture on both sides. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan set over medium heat and add the breaded chicken cutlets, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the breading is golden brown on the bottom, 7 to 9 minutes, then flip and add the butter and thyme to the pan. Cook the second side of the cutlets until golden brown, basting with the browning butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly sprinkle salt over each one. Repeat until all the cutlets have been fried.
• Divide the cutlets among four dinner plates. Spoon melted baby tomato sauce over the top, then add a few spoonfuls of burrata on top of the tomatoes. Season with additional salt to taste and serve immediately.
• In a sauté pan, heat the oil slightly over low heat. Add the garlic slices, oregano and red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds. Before the garlic has taken on any color, add the cherry tomatoes to the pan, turn the heat up to medium high, season with a pinch of salt and continue to sauté as the tomatoes release their juices. Once the juices and the pectin from the tomatoes have combined with the oil and have started to form a nice sauce (about 8 to 10 minutes), stir in the basil. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days until ready to use.
