1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts

1
Chicken: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack. I use a broiler pan :-)
2
Using 3 shallow bowls, add the flour to 1, the eggs to another and to the third bowl combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and thyme.
3
Pound chicken and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
4
In nonstick pan, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to broiler pan to keep warm.
5
Sauce: Add olive oil to reserved cooking juices and heat over medium heat. Add fennel and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in cherry tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, garlic, and thyme. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer chicken to serving platter and spoon sauce over before serving.
