Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan or frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook the onions for 10 mins until softened but not browned. Stir in the peppers. Cook, covered, for 35 mins until the peppers are soft.

  • STEP 2

    Stir in the garlic, cook for 1 min, then stir in the tomatoes and cook for 10 mins to soften. Stir in the basil, then turn off the heat.

  • STEP 3

    Put the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking parchment and flatten by lightly bashing with a rolling pin, until around ½cm thick. Tip the flour onto a large plate, pour the egg onto another, then combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan on a third. Coat the chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the crumbs. Repeat with all the chicken.

  • STEP 4

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the chicken for 2-3 mins on both sides until golden and cooked through. Serve with the peperonata, shavings of the ricotta salata and a scattering of basil leaves.

Recipe tip

Ricotta salata (salty ricotta) gets its firm texture and deep flavour from the salt. Find it from specialist shops or online.
