fratelli's pollo terra mare
This is a little bit healthier version of a dish I order at Fratelli's, a fabulous Italian restaurant my family loves. I have asked the chef for the recipe and he even explained how to cook it. My mom came up with this version when she was craving it! Restaurant version is fried in a light coating like schnitzel with a lemon, butter, garlic and white wine sauce!

How To Make fratelli's pollo terra mare
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 375. Pound out your chicken breast to 1/2 inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a foil lined jelly roll pan. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes until done. Remove from oven when done.
-
Step 2Mix together the grated parmesan, smashed garlic and parsley. Divide among each chicken breast and spread on top of cooked chicken breasts.
-
Step 3Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of ham. Top the ham with 2 slices of cheese. In the picture, my mother topped each of them with 3-4 slices of cheese but that depends on how cheesey you want it! Because who doesn't love cheese!
-
Step 4Turn oven to broil and set oven rack 6" from heat source. Place pan of topped chicken breasts on rack and broil until cheese is melted. Keep an eye on it because the cheese will brown and burn if not!
-
Step 5Remove from oven once melted and enjoy as is or we topped ours with a bit of heated spaghetti sauce.
