Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is frying, slice the Roma tomatoes and set aside. In a bowl, toss the arugula with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each piece of focaccia, place a fried chicken breast, top with sliced tomatoes, and a generous handful of lemon-dressed arugula. Close the sandwich with the other piece of focaccia.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with your choice of side.
