- 1 c italian seasoned bread crumbs
- ½ c panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ c parmesan cheese
- 2 tbs fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbs oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tbs fresh parsely, chopped

- 3 eggs
- ¼ c egg whites
- 2 tbs heavy cream

VODKA SAUCE
- ½ c pancetta, cubed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbs olive oil
- ¼ c vodka
- 1 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 c tomato puree
- ¼ c parmesan cheese
- ¼ c heavy cream
- 2 tbs italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, make the egg wash by whisking together the eggs, egg whites and cream in a bowl.
- Now, in a separate bowl, mix together the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and parsley.
- After that, coat the chicken cutlets in the egg wash then place them into the breading mixture. Flip them so that both sides of each chicken cutlet are evenly coated with breading on both sides.
- Now, fry the chicken cutlets in hot oil on both sides until they are cooked all the way through and crispy.
- When they are done, place them on a paper towel lined plate to drain and season them with salt.
- Now to prepare the sauce, place the diced pancetta into a large skillet and cook it until it’s crispy then remove it from the pan.
- Now add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Dave said he mashed the garlic into some olive oil and created a paste but you can just add some oil to the pan if you’d prefer that.
- Once the vegetables are soft, add the pancetta back into the pan and add the vodka. Let the vodka cook out for a minute or two.
- Then add the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Now that simmer for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, take the cooked chicken cutlets and add them to a baking sheet.
- Then add a little vodka sauce onto the top of each chicken cutlet and add some fresh mozzarella cheese to the top of sauce.
- After that, bake it in the oven until at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- When the chicken is done cooking, finish it off with a little more vodka sauce and Parmesan cheese.
- Finally, serve this with pasta or the side of your choice and enjoy!
