Method

Chicken Cutlets Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; one with beaten eggs; and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere well.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the hard rolls in half horizontally. Spread about 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the inside of each roll.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one fried chicken cutlet on the bottom half of each roll. Top with 2 lettuce leaves and slices of tomato. Cover with the top half of the roll.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the French Fries

    Prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions, typically by baking or frying. Once cooked, sprinkle with salt to taste.
