Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ½-inch thickness)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices premium smoked turkey
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound gently to ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere
  4. Heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, or bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes on a wire rack over a baking sheet
  5. Top each cooked chicken breast with a slice of smoked turkey and Swiss cheese. Return to the oven or cover the skillet until cheese melts
  6. While chicken rests, whisk together all honey mustard sauce ingredients until smooth

Notes

Pound chicken evenly for consistent cooking; let breaded chicken rest 10-15 minutes before cooking for extra crispy coating; cheese can be substituted with provolone or mozzarella
