Chicken Cutlet Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the skin from the chicken and remove the bones. Slice the breast diagonally across to make 4 thin pieces. Pound the chicken lightly between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper, to taste, and brush them with a little oil. Grill the cutlets until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and let cool.
• Put the mayonnaise into a bowl along with the mustard, lemon zest, parsley, and fennel fronds and whisk to combine. Check the seasoning and add salt, and pepper, to taste. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise. Spread the herb mayonnaise on the bottom half. Top with the chicken, onions, and lettuce. Spread the remaining mayonnaise on the other half and put it on top. Cut the sandwich into 4 pieces and wrap well in waxed paper or plastic wrap.

Steps:

• Toss red onion and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to coat; let sit 5 minutes to allow onion to soften slightly. Rinse under running water, then shake off excess water. Place onion in a medium bowl and add cabbage, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil. Toss to combine and season slaw with salt and pepper.
• Pound chicken thighs with a meat mallet or a rolling pin between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4" thick. Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, mustard, and cayenne in another shallow bowl.
• Place panko in a third shallow bowl. Working with 2 thighs at a time, season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in cornstarch, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, shaking off excess.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches and adding more oil to skillet between batches if needed, cook chicken thighs until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Spread mayo over one side of bread slices and build sandwiches with cutlets and slaw.
• Do Ahead
• Slaw can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Using a meat mallet, pound each piece of chicken between sheets of wax paper til 1/4" thick.
• Combine bread crumbs and next 5 ingredients.
• Dip chicken in eggs, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add chicken and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Add extra oil if necessary.
• Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Mix the hot sauce with the egg whites then set up your assembly line: chicken, egg dip, panko crumbs, baking rack.
• Dip the chicken in the egg then roll in the panko crumbs. Press those crumbs on tightly. Place on baking rack to set while you get the frying pan ready.
• Heat your large frying pan over medium-high flame and add the olive oil.
• When the oil is hot, add the cutlets. Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side; flip and cook 2 minutes more, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Don't let the panko get over browned!
• While the chicken cooks, toast the buns under the broiler.
• For each sandwich, place 1 lettuce leaf on the browned bun bottom ( that's an odd phrase, huh?)and spoon over 1/4 of the "Buffalo" sauce. Top with a cutlet, another 1/4 of the sauce and a lettuce leaf.
• If you have extra sauce, dipping your sandwich as you eat is encouraged.
