2 eggs, lightely beaten with 1 Tbsp milk

Method
1.  Preheat the oven to 395F (200C).

2.  Dust each chicken filet in flour, then dip in the egg wash and next the breadcrumbs.

3.  Saute the escalopes in hot olive oil in a frying pain until golden brown, then transfer to a baking tray.

4.  Heat a little new olive oil in the same pan. Saute the shallots and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and basil and allow the tomatoes to soften. Season with a little salt and pepper.
