Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thinner cutlets to ensure even cooking.
Season the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken cooks, slice the English muffins in half and butter the inner sides lightly.
Toast the buttered muffins in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds, enough for one slice per sandwich.
Once the chicken is done, place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken cutlet while still warm to let it melt slightly.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each bottom half of the English muffins.
Top the bottom muffin with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cheesy chicken cutlet, and then close with the top half of the muffin.
Serve the chicken muffin sandwiches warm and enjoy!
