Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
8 slices deli turkey breast
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Prepare a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
Coat chicken in flour, dip into eggs, then press into panko to coat thoroughly.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Top each chicken breast with two slices of turkey and two slices of Swiss cheese.
Cover the pan briefly or broil the chicken in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the sauce over the cooked chicken and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure chicken is pounded to an even thickness to guarantee consistent cooking. Use low-sodium deli turkey if watching salt intake. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain the crispy crust.
