Chicken Cutlet

Method

Chicken Cutlet Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1 inch to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken cutlets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 6

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 7

    Finish Sauce

    Stir in the chopped basil just before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each brioche bun, place a cooked chicken cutlet. Top with marinara sauce and then layer with mozzarella cheese.

  2. 9

    Melt Cheese

    Place the sandwiches under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh basil leaves and place the top half of the brioche bun on each sandwich. Serve immediately.
