CHICKEN COTOLETTE WITH CHEESE AND A SHOWER OF AWARDS

May 9, 2011 By Manu 33 Comments

Chicken Cotolette with Cheese

This is the chicken version of my cotolette recipe with a couple of differences.  In this case I coat the chicken with flour before putting it in the egg wash and crumbing it.  And, above all, I add cheese to it.  It is a very easy dish that your kids and you will love.  This is another easy recipe for a mid week dinner.  Serve it with a simple tomato salad.
Sharing this post with Hearth and Soul Hop by Kankana.

 

Ingredients for 4 persons:
4 thin chicken breasts steaks (the ones used for schnitzels)
1 egg
Flour
Breadcrumbs
Salt
Cheese, sliced (I used Tasty cheese)

Start by flattening the meat: each cotoletta has to be about 0.5 cm thick.  Keep them aside.

Beat the egg in a bowl and add salt to it.  Put the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 separate plates.

Coat each chicken steak with flour, dip them in the egg and then coat them well with breadcrumbs, pressing with your palm so the crumbs stick well to your cotoletta.

Shallow fry them in hot vegetable oil.

When the meat is cooked, put it in an oven proof dish in one layer, put some cheese on each cotoletta and put them in the oven for a couple of minutes, so that the cheese melts.

Serve warm with a simple tomato salad.

Chicken Cotoletta with Cheese

On another note… this morning I woke up to 2 wonderful surprises.  I received awards from 2 of the bloggers I admire the most and I have been constantly following since I started blogging!  I feel so blessed to be appreciated by such lovely people and it makes blogging about my passion for food so much more worth the effort!

Thank you so very much Elyse from The Cultural Dish for all these awards!

And thank you so very much Tina from Pinay Cooking Corner for all these awards!


If you haven’t visited their blogs yet, please do so as soon as you can: they are awesome with so many delicious recipes and mouth watering pictures!

To follow the tradition… here are 7 things you still don’t know about me:

1.  I love coffee… it is my only real “addiction”.  And when I say coffee, I mean espresso.  I actually have it macchiato and my day rarely starts off without my cup of coffee.

2.   I love all kinds of cuisines, but I am lately craving for a good French meal.  I used to visit France regularly as a child and I have kind of grown up on pain au chocolat, mousse au chocolat, baguette with paté, all sorts of cheese (especially goat’s cheese), crêpes and all the other French delicacies you can think of…

3.  History and geography have always been my favourite subjects in school.  I just find reading about the past fascinating and my love for geography is very likely connected to my love for travelling.

4.  I have travelled quite a bit and (besides Italy and Australia), for me the most amazing places I have visited so far have been The Alhambra (Granada – Spain), the Norwegian Fjords (Norway), Finnish Lapland (Finland), Goa (India), the Mayan ruins of Central America (Mexico and Guatemala) and the coral reef (the best for me were in Belize, Maldives and Fiji).  But I always say that my best trip is the one I’ll go on “next”!

5.  The sweet ingredient I enjoy cooking with the most is dark chocolate (not too sweet and very versatile), while the savory ingredient would have to be cheese.

6.  When I dine out I very rarely order fish.  I almost always have meat as a main dish, either beef or lamb.

7.  My 3 favorite books ever are “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Garcia Marquez, “The House of the Spirits” by Isabel Allende and “A Suitable Boy” by Vikram Seth.  Have you ever read any of them?

What about you? What are your favourite books/authors?  Which is the most memorable place you have visited?  What ingredients do you enjoy cooking with the most?

And now, time to pass on all these awards!!!  I am choosing 15 great people with 15 amazing blogs that I really enjoy reading.  There you have it:

Jill from Mad About Macarons

Beth from Beth Michelle

Nami from Just One Cookbook

Mindy from Whiski Business

Kankana at Sunshine & Smile

Sandra from Sandra’s Easy Cooking

Hester at Alchemy – Simple Ingredients, Magical Food

Tiffany at Como Water

Giulia from Alter Kitchen

Liz from That Skinny Chick Can Bake!!!

Parsley Sage from The Deep Dish

Muppy from Muppys

Fiona from Nuts About Food

Visda from Eat, Drink and Just Be!

Daksha from Daksha’s Vegetarian Recipes World

Have fun browsing their fantastic blogs!  And thank you once again Elyse from The Cultural Dish and Tina from Pinay Cooking Corner!  You really made my day! 🙂

    Thanks so much for the awards! Awesome to be honored! Loving this recipe as well, its similar to the way I make weinerschnitzel. Great minds, huh? And I think its funny you rarely order fish when you go out to eat. I have a rule that makes me ONLY order fish when we go out to eat 🙂

And your wonderful spirit comes out in each and every post. I am so happy to go through this foodie journey of ours together! AND to answer your questions… my favorite authors are: Arunditha Roy, Giaconda Belli, Toni Morrison, Junot Diaz, oh, I could go on and on! Favorite places: Salvador (Brasil) and Paris, favorite ingredient to cook with … I’m boring–red onion! 😀

    Wow! Thanks Manu. This is such an honor. I am glad you like my blog, hope you know how much I love yours. BTW this recipe looks gorgeous, when ever I miss Austria, I should make it, it gives that Wiener Schnitzel feeling.
    I also enjoyed reading more about you. It seems we have similar tastes in many things, no wonder we are blogging friends. Hope that one day you visit in SF and we meet in person. Since you like the same type of books, thought you may enjoy Heruki Murakamu. To me some of his books are like Marcez of Japan.:-)
    Have a great start of the week.

    Hi Manu! So sorry for my late response after you left your note regarding awards. Today was a bit chaotic… Well first of all, congrats on your awards. Everyone including myself agrees that you totally deserve these awards. And thank you for passing me them too. I was more happy that you said you enjoyed reading my blog – that means a lot to me. 🙂 When I received email about your note on awards, I quickly came to this post and saw your cotolette, and guess what, I even cooked this dish with sliced pork. Japanese have similar dish (probably influenced by Italian obviously) and I mixed Italian herbs in Panko since we were having pasta tonight. Thanks for helping me figure out my dinner menu. 😉 See how inspiring you are? Haha. Thanks again for awards!

    I never tried to add cheese to my cotolette, sound deliciously decadent! My decadent touch is to do a double egg and crumbs cover.

    This is actually schnitzel with a slice of cheese on top. Yummy. But I’d be interested in knowing what the difference is between a cotolette and a schnitzel.

      Cotoletta is the Italian name for schnitzel. 🙂
