Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 pieces Slices of deli ham
- 4 pieces Slices of hearty sandwich bread (sourdough or ciabatta preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thin fillets. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Add flour to the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and place breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is fully covered for a crispy crust.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the breaded chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare a small bowl by combining mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter the opposite sides of the bread slices (the side that won't get the mayo-mustard mixture).
Assemble the sandwiches: Layer one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of ham, a cooked chicken fillet, lettuce, tomato slice, and another slice of Swiss cheese onto the prepared bread (mayonnaise side inward).
Place the assembled sandwich onto the preheated skillet, buttered side down. Toast for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese melts.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side.
