Instructions
-
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.
-
Add olive oil, garlic, and chile flakes. Stir, cooking for about about 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic is lightly golden and fragrant.
-
Add the crushed tomatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and basil. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
-
On a clean work surface, butterfly the chicken breasts. Cover with plastic wrap, and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound out the chicken to ¼-inch thick pieces. Season each side with salt and black pepper.
-
With the cut side of the chicken facing up, arrange a flat layer of 4 half slices of ham, followed by 4 half slices of mozzarella. Roll toward one’s self, starting with the thickest part of the chicken.
-
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
-
Place the panko in a wide, shallow bowl, and add the parmesan cheese and oregano. Stir to incorporate. Prepare 2 more wide bowls with the flour and the beaten egg.
-
Unwrap the chicken and dredge in the flour, eggs, then bread crumbs.
-
Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 325 degrees F.
-
Add the chicken, 2 rolls at a time, and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until the outside is an even golden brown.
-
If a good color is achieved and the chicken’s center is still not at 165 degrees F, finish cooking the chicken in an oven set to 325 degrees F until that temperature is reached.
-
Place the fried chicken in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the tomato sauce over the top, saving some for serving. Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices on top.
-
Broil on the center rack for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and has small brown bubbles.
-
Garnish with fresh basil and serve with the reserved tomato sauce alongside. Enjoy!
