Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • A little fresh grated nutmeg
  • A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 seedless oranges
  • 2 yellow or orange tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 sprig fresh oregano, leaves finely chopped, optional
  • 1/2 small red onion or 2 to 3 scallions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups baby arugula leaves

Directions

Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, nutmeg, parsley, and orange zest in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in another bowl and the eggs in a third bowl.

Cut the chicken breasts horizontally being sure not to cut all the way through to the other side so it will open like a book. Once the chicken is butterflied, lightly pound the chicken between waxed paper, parchment or plastic wrap into 4 large, very thin cutlets. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper and coat with the flour, then the egg and then the bread crumbs.

Heat a 1/2-inch of frying oil in very large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the cutlets 1 or 2 at a time, depending on the size of the pan. As cutlets are done, transfer to a baking rack to drain. Cutlets may be served room temperature but you want them to remain crisp.

While the cutlets cook, working next to the stove, peel and section the oranges and dice. Add them to a large bowl along with the tomatoes, oregano, if using, onion, extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss and when ready to serve fold in the arugula leaves.

Transfer the cutlets to serving plates and top with mounds of orange and arugula salad before serving.

    Love this recipe. Love, love, love it. I omitted the flour and baked it instead of frying it. Not a big fan of arugula, so I made a spinach salad with the oranges instead. I "double dipped" the chicken--dip in egg, then in the bread crumbs, then in egg again and finally in bread crumbs again. I have also used this with salmon. Loved the citrus orange flavor with the fish.

    I made this for dinner and apparently I should have made more, gone in a flash! We are not a big fan of arugula so I served it with a side of risotto. This breading is so yummy I decided to try it on Tilapia - OMG - even my 7 year old granddaughter loved it - she ate 2 (big pieces! The orange zest really makes it come alive, you really have to try this - YUMMY! Thanks Rachael
