Ingredients
For chicken:
- 4 chicken breast thin cutlets
- 1 cup safflower oil or any other high smoke point oil
- 6 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
For slaw:
- 2 cups red cabbage shredded, raw
- 1 green apple cored and sliced into thin matchsticks
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For sandwich:
- 8 lices Wheat bread toasted or untoasted, dark
- 8 smoked Gouda cheese thin slices
- microgreens or pea shoots, fresh
Instructions
For chicken:
- Pound out cutlets if you need to make them equal in size. If not just set aside while you prepare the breading.
- In a large high sided frying pan add oil and set to medium-high heat. Keep an eye on the oil so that it does not get too hot while you’re breading your chicken.
- In a shallow dish add cornstarch, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Lightly coat your chicken cutlets in the cornstarch mixture and set on a plate.
- When the oil has reached 350 degrees carefully add the cutlets and fry until golden. About 5 minutes per side.
- Do not crowd the pan. So if it’s full with only 2 cutlets do the frying in 2 batches. If the chicken starts to brown too quickly or the oil is smoking turn down the temperature.
- Add cooked chicken to a paper towel lined plate and keep warm while you prepare the rest of your sandwich ingredients.
Cup of Yum
For slaw:
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and toss to combine.
For sandwich:
- Lay out a slice of bread, top with the cutlet, cheese, slaw, microgreens or pea shoots and another slice of bread.
- Optional: you can melt the cheese on top of the sandwich by popping it under the broiler but I prefer it on the sandwich at room temperature because Gouda doesn't always melt well.
