Healthy Chicken Milanese

So we were really in the mood for some fried food the other night but also wanted to try and do it in a healthy way ... ok SEMI healthy way!  Here's how we did it:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 boneless/skinless chicken breast
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup homemade tomato sauce (recipe coming soon)
2 oz buffalo mozzarella
4-5 fresh basil leaves
1/2 lemon
1 head broccoli

Directions:

Place a layer of plastic wrap down on a cutting board, lay the chicken breast in the center and top with another layer of plastic wrap.  Pound out the chicken into a large disc of even thickness (about 1/4 inch). Put the chicken through the standard three stage breading procedure ... flour, egg, bread crumbs (tutorial coming soon).  Pour oil into a large sauté pan and heat on medium high heat and place chicken into pan once heated.  As soon as one side is browned (about 4 minutes) flip it over and top with the tomato sauce and slices of buffalo mozzarella.  Once the second side is browned remove the chicken and set atop a base of steamed broccoli seasoned with a little salt and pepper.  Roll the basil leaves tightly and slice thinly with a very sharp knife to avoid bruising.  Top the chicken milanese with the basil, a squeeze of lemon, and a lemon slice to garnish.
