Introduction
A recipe recreating Saizeriya's popular 'Chicken with Melted Cheese' dish. It features a rich, reduced tomato sauce, plenty of melted cheese, and juicy chicken with crispy, fragrant skin.
Step 1
Make incisions in the thick parts of the chicken thigh, cover with plastic wrap, and pound with a bottle or similar object to even out the thickness. Season both sides with a pinch of salt.
Step 2
In a small pan, combine butter, consommé, and soy sauce, reduce slightly to make the Garum sauce, and set aside in a heatproof container.
Step 3
In the pan, add tomato juice, salt, sugar, table pepper, and grated garlic. Stir while reducing until thickened. Add 2 tsp of olive oil and stir to finish the rich tomato sauce.
Step 4
Heat a moderate amount of olive oil in a pan. Place the chicken skin-side down and sear over medium heat while pressing down to make the skin crispy. Flip, cover, and steam-cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes.
Step 5
Spread the rich tomato sauce over the chicken, top with plenty of mixed cheese, cover again, and cook over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted.

Important Notes
💡 Pounding the chicken to even thickness ensures it cooks through evenly and stays tender.
💡 Reduce the tomato juice until the spatula leaves a trail on the bottom of the pan for a rich, concentrated flavor.
