Preparation
- 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.
- Step 2
Put the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the rosemary, water, salt and pepper. Beat well.
- Step 3
Coat the chicken pieces with flour and shake off excess.
- Step 4
Heat the oil and butter in a large, heavy skillet.
- Step 5
As the oil heats, dip the chicken breast halves in the egg mixture. Coat well and let the excess drip off.
- 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.
- Step 7
Serve the chicken hot with the tomato sauce on the side.
