Original recipe from Cooking Light
1 / 4 cup canola oil

1 / 2 cup tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine canola oil, seasoned rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, chopped garlic, sugar, sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste together in a small container. Whisk together and set aside to let the flavors mingle.
Take each chicken breast and place one by one in a zip lock bag. Pound chicken breasts to the thickness of 1 / 2 inch with a meat mallet. Cut the chicken breast in half and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Season flour with garlic powder, salt and freshly open to taste and mix well. Combine eggs and milk in another bowl, mix well. Add Panko bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in another bowl, mix well.

Pizza With Ricotta Cheese, Grape Tomatoes, Red Onion And Fresh Basil
It was a quick and easy pizza I made to wrap if we were busy packing boxes. I really, really liked the way the creamy curd made this pizza - tasted rich and decadent, without any guilt. I also liked the sweet tomatoes and onions were after cooking and fresh basil topped the pizza with a wonderful flavor out. I loved the pizza and plan to do again and again.
