Method

Chicken Cutlet

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This helps them cook uniformly.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing down to adhere.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Pesto Mayo

  1. 5

    Make Pesto Mayo

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise and basil pesto until well combined. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare Baguette

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and lightly toast it if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of pesto mayo on the bottom half of the baguette. Place the chicken cutlet on top, followed by slices of prosciutto, a handful of arugula, and a spoonful of stracciatella cheese. Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette.

  3. 8

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the sandwich with a side of french fries for a complete meal.
