We coat tender chicken breasts with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs before cooking them up golden brown in a splash of light olive oil. The results are crisp and tasty you won't even miss the skin! Served with a salad of artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives and fresh basil, this dish is Mediterranean in flavor, style, and healthful attitude.

Serves 4

• Salad

• 1 cup (about 2 jars) store-bought marinated artichoke hearts, drained

• 3 plum tomatoes, cut into thin rounds

• 1/2 cup sliced and pitted kalamata olives

• 1/4 cup tightly packed basil leaves, thinly sliced

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• Juice of 1/2 lemon

• 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• Chicken

• 1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs

• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 2 eggs

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

• Olive oil, for frying

1. Make the salad: Combine the artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives, basil, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and pepper in a nonreactive bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.

2. Make the chicken: Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken breast half in the eggs and then in the bread crumb mix.

3. In a large skillet set over medium heat, heat ¨ inch of olive oil until it ripples. Add the chicken breasts and saute until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot, topped with the artichoke salad and alongside Zucchini with White Beans and Mint, if desired.
