Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (for frying)

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by gathering everything on your counter.

- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and coat in panko.
