Chicken Cutlets in Pizzaiola Sauce

Thin slices of chicken in a tomato sauce.

In Italy "Pizzaiola" is the name of a tomato and garlic sauce normally served with meat and poultry. Each cook is free to create his own variations on this theme by adding herbs and spices, in the same spirit as for a "pizza".

Ingredients

2/3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, thinly sliced   200 g
1 tbsp white flour (all purpose) [optional]   8 g
1 tbsp olive oil   15 mL
1 clove garlic    
  salt to taste    
  ground pepper to taste    
1/2 cup canned tomatoes (diced)   130 g
1 tbsp olive paste   16 g
1/2 tsp dried oregano   0.4 g

Before you start

Put the serving dish in the oven at the lowest setting to keep the meat warm while cooking the sauce.

Method

  1. Flatten and tenderize the cutlets using a meat pounder. Make a few shallow cuts around the outside edge to avoid curling during cooking. Coat each cutlet with the flour then shake off the excess (the flour will give a thicker sauce).
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the whole garlic cloves, sauté 1-2 min, then add the cutlets, and brown each side for about 2 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the cutlets from the pan then set aside on the warmed serving plate in the oven.
  3. Add the tomatoes, olive paste and oregano. Cook 4-5 min, then put the meat back into the pan. Continue to cook 2 min, turning the cutlets once. Serve.
