Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Open up the chicken breasts on a flat surface and slice each down the center to provide 2 portions. Trim off and discard membranes and fat. Pound each chicken breast half lightly with a flat mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Put the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the rosemary, water, salt and pepper. Beat well.

  3. Step 3

    Coat the chicken pieces with flour and shake off excess.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the oil and butter in a large, heavy skillet.

  5. Step 5

    As the oil heats, dip the chicken breast halves in the egg mixture. Coat well and let the excess drip off.

  6. Step 6

    When the oil mixture is hot add half of the chicken pieces. Cook about 3 minutes on one side over moderately high heat. When golden brown on one side, turn the pieces. Continue cooking about 2 minutes on the second side. The total cooking time for each piece is 5 to 6 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the chicken hot with the tomato sauce on the side.
