Chicken Cutlet

House Made Red Sauce

Assembly

Method

Preparation of Chicken Cutlet

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thin cutlets. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparation of House Made Red Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

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

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly of Sammie

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the sauce simmers, slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast them on a skillet or grill.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sammie

    Place a fried chicken cutlet on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Spoon a generous amount of red sauce over the cutlet, then top with provolone cheese slices. Place the top half of the bun on and press down gently.

  3. 8

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sandwiches back in the skillet over low heat, cover, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.

  4. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Add fresh basil leaves on top before serving. Cut in half if desired and enjoy your Jack's Chicken Parm Sammie!
