Table of Contents

If whatever of you lot are equally naive equally I am, I was a footling confused when I saw margherita when I spotted this gem. My non-drinking-because-I'm-thoroughly-Mormon self went direct to thinking this was a margarita-infused dish, in addition to so ending my wishing to endeavor it. I mean, unless it was virgin (which I lead keep had, in addition to brutal inwards dearest amongst completely). Then I looked through the ingredients, in addition to realized the embarrassing size of my blonde 2nd (margarita vs margherita), in addition to rapidly brutal inwards dearest amongst the fresh ingredients this recipe uses. I made it solely a brace days later. 

Don't brand my same mistake. 

I mean, yikes. 

Good heavens. 

And they pay me to lead keep a nutrient blog. 

At to the lowest degree I tin blame it on my Blondie title, eh? 

This recipe rapidly uses upward those juicy tomatoes that should hold out flight out of the garden past times now. The fresher, the better, here. I breaded in addition to baked my chicken equally I unremarkably do, layering the chicken amongst iii coats of awesomeness: 1) flour, 2) whisked egg + a splash of water, 3) a mixture of Panko in addition to Italian breadstuff crumbs. Sometimes I pose inwards a footling parmesan cheese, but since nosotros were slathering on a giant piece of mozzarella, I idea we'd at to the lowest degree endeavor to non overdose on dairy. 

Maybe endeavor but a little. 

After all, cheese is belike what a bulk of our grocery nib goes towards. 

This chicken was DYNAMITE. The juicy chicken was coated inwards my favorite breading ingredients, lightly fried inwards unopen to oil, baked to perfection inwards the oven, coated inwards a blanket of creamy milky mozzarella, in addition to and so topped amongst juicy tomatoes in addition to onions. I belike could lead keep chopped the ruddy onions a footling smaller, but nosotros are red-onion lovers, so the seize amongst teeth didn't bother us i bit. The fresh basil is a MUST. It makes this dish so amazing! When serving this beauty, don't hold out stingy when topping the chicken. Slather the matter amongst the tomato plant mixture. It's gold. After all, the finish at dinnertime is to slather on equally much of that garden goodness equally much nosotros tin on each in addition to every dinner plate! Enjoy!
