How to make Pollo alla Sorrentina (Chicken Sorrentino)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare chicken: Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create thinner cutlets, or pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (or a regular skillet and transfer later) over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly golden brown. They don't need to be cooked through at this stage. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Make tomato sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes and chopped fresh basil. Add butter. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of the skillet (or a 9x13 inch baking dish if transferring). Lay the cooked chicken cutlets over the sauce.
- Top each chicken cutlet with a slice of prosciutto, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Spoon the remaining tomato sauce generously over the chicken and cheese. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra browning on the cheese.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
