Recipe Description

ingredients:2-3 chicken breasts1 cup grated parmesan cheese1/4 cup all purpose flour2 eggsItalian seasoning to tastebuns or bread of choicejarred tomato sauce OR make your own!You may run out the the parmesan/flour breading mixture if your chicken breasts are huge! If you do, just keep the ratio at 4 parts parmesan to 1 part flour and you'll do fine. :)tools:large skillet for fryingpan for heating/making tomato sauceplastic wrapheavy bottomed pan for flattening the breastssharp knifecutting board

Put the tomato sauce on first so it can simmer and reduce. I find these sandwiches work best if the sauce is nice and thick. :)This is especially important if you're using my recipe to make it from scratch! If you have time I definitely recommend it - it's much easier than you'd think and tastes so much nicer than the canned stuff.

In a wide, shallow container, crack your eggs and beat them well.In another container (I'm using a baking dish) combine the parmesan, flour and Italian seasoning. Mix well and taste - add more Italian seasoning as needed! You can add some black pepper too if you like. Just don't add salt - the breading is salty enough as is!

The main goal here is to cut them about the same size as the buns/bread you're using. From three chicken breasts, I got six fat pieces that are perfect for sandwiches. The other little pieces of chicken breast I keep and fry the same way - they're great for dipping in the tomato sauce and midnight snacks. :D

Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the cut chicken breasts and pound with a heavy bottomed pot. Just try to get all the pieces to the same thickness throughout. :)

We're going to double bread the chicken - it makes a fantastic crust! First, coat each piece in the beaten egg, and then dredge it well in the parmesan/flour mix. When you finish with each piece put it on a plate to the side. Once all the pieces have finished the first round of breading, repeat the process again. Be gentle the second time around so you don't pull off any of the breading. Place them on a plate as you finish them.

Get out a large skillet and pour in enough oil to cover the bottom. You don't want too much! Just enough to reach about halfway up the chicken breasts. Heat the skillet over medium high heat until the oil shimmers. If you're not sure how to tell if the oil is hot enough, drop in a grain of rice or some of the breading. If it rises to the surface and bubbles and dances about immediately, you're good to go!Add in the chicken and make sure not to crowd the pan - you don't want anything of the pieces touching.Fry just until the underside is nice and golden brown, and then flip and repeat. This will go very fast - no more than 1-2 minutes per side. Don't let the breading go past golden brown, either - the cheese will get pretty bitter. :)Once they're done frying, place them on a plate with paper towels and drain.

Toast your bread or bun and assemble the sandwich. You can add some mozzarella on top too and broil for a moment if you want even more cheese. :DAnd remember to fry up all the little chicken pieces in the breading for snacks! They are sooooooo good.
