Рецепт Chicken Sorrentino
Chicken Sorrentino or Pollo alla Sorrentina is an Italian dish of lightly breaded chicken breast, layered with prosciutto, eggplant, marinara sauce and mozzarella baked to perfection yielding a juicy chicken and melting toppings. I think of it as a mashup between lasagne, chicken scaloppini and eggplant parmigiana because it looks like one and it tastes like one. This dish is named after the Italian town of Sorrento which is located in the Campania region where the best Mozzarella in Italy comes from (subject for debate). It is also the place where tomatoes and eggplant are abundant. While our ingredients today do not come from that place we have used the best produce that we can on our recipe today, one important thing to note though is to use a low moisture mozzarella so your dish will not yield a soggy texture.
Have you tried this dish? What do you think? Will you ever go back to either lasagne, chicken scaloppini and eggplant parmigiana when you can all have three on them on one plate in one easy preparation?
