CHICKEN ALLA VODKA 🍅✨ 🍗 with melty burrata and toasted breadcrumbs 😍 this is like chicken parm but with burrata instead of regular mozzarella on top…. and VODKA SAUCE🙌 there’s this rumor that you shouldn’t use a cast-iron skillet with any tomato sauce, but as long as your skillet is properly seasoned or professionally season, you shouldn’t have any problems! I used my Staub 12 inch skillet.

Instructions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board. Cover with foil or plastic wrap and pound until they are all the same thickness, about 1/2-inch thick. Dry them off with a paper towel and seasoned generously with salt on both sides
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 3
Heat a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Season with 2 swirls of olive oil. Once the oil is simmering, add the chicken breast into the skillet and cook until lightly golden brown, about five minutes. Flip and cook again for five minutes. Remove from the skillet and adjust the heat to medium.
Step 4
Add the butter and onion. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Cook for 5 to 7 min until softened.
Step 5
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 min.
Step 6
Add the tomato paste. Toast the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes until it smells sweet like sun-dried tomatoes. Deglaze the pan with vodka. Scrape the golden brown bits off the bottom.
Step 7
Add heavy cream and stir until combined. Add the chicken stock. Taste and adjust salt levels if needed!
Step 8
Place chicken back into the skillet. Spread the sauce on top of the chicken if you can. Top each chicken breast with burrata and sprinkle fresh parm on top.
Step 9
Bake for 15-20 min until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melty.
Step 10
Remove from the oven. Top with the bread crumbs and basil. Serve immediately!
