Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices of your favorite bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts thinly to create cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and spices.
- In three separate shallow dishes, place breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, the beaten eggs mixed with milk, and have the seasoned chicken cutlets ready. Dip each cutlet in the egg mixture, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Place each chicken cutlet on a slice of bread.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) on top of the chicken on each slice of bread. Place the assembled chicken bread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
- Cheese variations: Experiment with different types of cheese such as mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack.
- Herb additions: Mix dried herbs like oregano, thyme, or basil into the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
- Sauce it: Drizzle your favorite sauce, like ranch or barbecue, over the chicken before adding the cheese.
- Garlic Bread Chicken: Use garlic bread slices instead of regular bread for an extra garlicky flavor.
