Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts Pizzaiola Style

Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts Pizzaiola Style today, a very tasty and appetizing white meat main dish!

The pizzaiola or rather alla pizzaiola  is a preparation with meat and tomato sauce, whose origins seem to be Neapolitan, and it is a very widespread dish with many different versions, some simple with just tomato and oregano, others with the addition of capers (like this one) and others with the addition of a little anchovy in oil!

The cooking method alla pizzaiola is a recipe loved throughout the national territory, although the origin is not well known.

Certainly, this preparation takes us to the cuisine of Southern Italy, in particular to the Campania region, where the first pizza was already topped with garlic, tomato, and oregano, precisely the ingredients of this dish.

To obtain a perfect pizzaiola, lean beef slices are preferred, while for a more gourmet version, veal is chosen, while white meats are less suitable.

If you want to try different versions of the classic pizzaiola, add green olives with diced eggplants and other spices like rosemary.
