Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, drizzle some olive oil and add anchovies. Use a spatula to break the fish down and saute for a few minutes. Add chopped garlic, red pepper flakes and saute for another 2 minutes until lightly brown.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and olives and allow to cook until the tomatoes break down. About 3 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and stir to incorporate. Add capers and cook for another 2 minutes for all the flavors to blend. Add chopped parsley and remain on low heat. Taste for seasoning.
  • To make the chicken cutlet, pound the chicken breast if you haven't already.
  • Dredge chicken breast in flour, then egg then breadcrumbs making sure everything is coated well.
  • In a separate heated skillet with olive oil, place chicken in and allow to cook until crispy and brown on one side, about 5-7 minutes. Turn over and cook other side. Reserve chicken to plate when done.
  • Slice ciabatta in half and grill to warm bread. If you have leftover garlic, rub garlic on the inside of grilled bread.
  • Assemble sandwich with chicken cutlet and topping with puttanesca sauce.
