Ingredients
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts , pounded ¼ inch thick
- ¾ cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 ounces panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- vegetable oil
- 4 bolillos or crusty hoagie rolls
- mayonnaise
- romaine or iceberg lettuce
- avocado peeled, and thinly sliced
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Place pounded chicken and buttermilk into a gallon-sized freezer bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Lightly beat eggs in a shallow bowl with salt.
- Combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork and place mixture in a shallow bowl.
- Working one at a time, dredge marinated chicken and transfer to bowl with egg and turn to coat, letting excess drip off. Coat with panko and spices, pressing to adhere.
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, cook cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed. If you are not serving them immediately, place chicken in a baking dish, without the paper towels, and keep warm in a 250 degrees F.
- Cut bolillos in half lengthwise and spread each side with mayonnaise. Lay the chicken on each roll and top with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados.
