  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (6–8 oz each)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 ½ cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 4 slices Cooked Chicken
  • 4–8 slices Swiss Cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • Pinch of Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1–2 tablespoons Milk or Cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap until about ½ inch thick.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat in panko.
  4. For frying: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the breaded chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. For baking: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly spray with oil; bake for about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, top each chicken breast with sliced chicken and cheese before serving.
