Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 ½ cups Panko Breadcrumbs
- 4 slices Cooked Chicken Breast
- 4-8 slices Swiss Cheese
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat for frying.
- Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap until about ½ inch thick.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with optional garlic powder and paprika.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in egg wash, then coat it in panko breadcrumbs.
- For frying: cook each breast in hot oil until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). For baking: place coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly spray with oil; bake for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
- Top each cooked chicken breast with slices of cooked chicken breast and Swiss cheese; return to oven briefly until the cheese melts.
- In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the sauce.
