How to Make Chicken Cutlets with Whipped Feta & Roasted Tomato Glow

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, then roast for 20 minutes until blistered and softened.

Meanwhile, prepare three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper in the third.

Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook the chicken cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Blend the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Spread the whipped feta across each serving plate.

Place the crispy chicken cutlets on top.

Spoon the roasted tomatoes and their juices over the chicken.

Garnish with fresh basil and freshly cracked black pepper before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with roasted baby potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, lemon rice, couscous, grilled vegetables or a crisp green salad. Warm crusty bread is perfect for scooping up the whipped feta and roasted tomato juices.

Expert Tips

Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness for even cooking. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavour. Roast the tomatoes until they begin to burst for maximum sweetness. Blend the feta until completely smooth for a restaurant-quality presentation.

Storage

Store leftover chicken and tomatoes separately from the whipped feta in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken in the oven to maintain its crispiness. The whipped feta can be enjoyed cold or brought to room temperature before serving.

Can I make the whipped feta ahead of time?

Absolutely. Prepare it up to three days ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container.

Can I use chicken thighs?

How do I keep the coating crispy?

Avoid overcrowding the skillet and let the cooked chicken rest briefly on a wire rack instead of paper towels.

Can I freeze the chicken?

Yes. Freeze the cooked chicken cutlets for up to two months. Reheat in the oven until crispy.
