INGREDIENTS

For the chicken:
  • ​Thick boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • ​Panko crust

For the sandwich:
  • ​1 head of lettuce
  • Dill pickles
  • Red onion
  • Sport peppers
  • ​Chipotle aioli

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut the pieces of chicken in the best shape as you can. Each piece of chicken should be about 3/4 of an inch. If they’re too thick, you can pound it down with a mallet.
  2. Generously season the chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a shallow bowl, whisk the two eggs. In another shallow bowl, add about 1-2 cups of panko crust.
  3. Dip the chicken in the egg on both sides and allow the excess egg to drain off the chicken. Then, coat the chicken in the panko crust as much as you can. If needed, coat the chicken again with the same process.
  4. In a large saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil on medium-high heat. Then, cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is crispy and golden.
  5. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 minutes to ensure it’s cooked thoroughly. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent any mess! Works like a charm.
  6. Build your masterpiece and simply enjoy!
