Chicken Cutlets

Calabrian Chile Aioli

Method

Prepare the Chicken Cutlets

  1. 1

    Pound the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Calabrian Chile Aioli

  1. 4

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced Calabrian chiles, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

Assemble the Po Boy

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the Leidenheimer bread lengthwise, but not all the way through, to create a pocket.

  2. 6

    Add the Chicken

    Spread a generous amount of Calabrian chile aioli inside the bread, then place a fried chicken cutlet inside.

  3. 7

    Top it Off

    Layer on giardiniera, shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, preserved hot banana peppers, and provolone cheese.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately, with extra aioli on the side if desired.
