Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To ensure the breading stays crispy, do not submerge the breaded chicken completely in the sauce; keep the tops of the cutlets exposed so the panko can brown properly.

Tip 2 of 2

For the best flavor, use high-quality canned San Marzano tomatoes for the base sauce, as they have a natural sweetness that requires less added sugar.
