Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices turkey breast
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  2. Create three shallow dishes: 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 egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
  4. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Top each cooked chicken cutlet with a slice of turkey and a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  6. While chicken cooks, whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken: Double-dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumb mixture for a thicker, crunchier coating. Make ahead: You can bread the chicken up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook. Sauce variations: For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey mustard sauce. For a creamier sauce, increase the mayonnaise to 3 tablespoons.
