Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first dish, beat the eggs in the second dish, and place the bread crumbs in the third dish.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each sandwich roll, spread a generous amount of mayonnaise. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom, followed by the fried chicken, a slice of Jarlsberg cheese, sliced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion. Top with the other half of the roll.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
