Season with some salt and pepper

5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat

6

Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat

Working with 2 or 3 pieces at a time so as not to crowd the pan, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour and tap off the excess

13

Add the sugar, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt

14

Bring the sauce to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes

Tear the basil into rough shreds with your hands and stir into the sauce

16

Brush a 9-by-13- inch baking dish with some olive oil and ladle half of the sauce into the dish
