    Chicken Tomato Panzanella - thinly pounded and seasoned chicken breast seared on a hot skillet, topped with delicious tomato panzanella salad and garnished with fresh luscious parsley.  In the summer, I like to serve this crispy chicken with cheesy mashed potatoes and Iced Sweet Tea. It is so GOOD! Husband-Approved! An easy dinner recipe.

      Step 3 reminds me of a schnitzel. Its a great dish but won't the breadcrumbs soak a lot of oil. I am guessing that adds to the crunch having said so i think i will try these without the breadcrumbs to reduce the oil. But i am tempted to carmelize the onions. Gosh! i end up sounding like a dumbo, reducing the oil from the bread crumbs but adding it to carmelize the onions. Great photos!

        Wow! Adding caramelized onions sounds so good! Yes, the breadcrumbs get an amazing crunch after being sauteed in oil. I personally like it, but your plan Andy, sounds pretty good too!:)

      Such gorgeous fresh colours! This looks so easy and perfect for a weeknight meal for my family. Can't wait for tomatoes to come back into season so I can make it.
