Prep time: 20 mins.

Cook time: 20 mins.

Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

8 chicken cutlets, thinly sliced

Vegetable oil for frying

1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs, placed in a bowl large enough to fit cutlets

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 eggs, whisked in a bowl large enough to fit cutlets

Instructions

1. Season cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Remove from pan and drain excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside until ready to assemble sandwich.

6. Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange proscuitto slices on a baking sheet and bake until crispy about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.

7. To assemble sandwich place one chicken cutlet on the bread, add mozzarella, drizzle with olive oil and fresh ground pepper. Top with crispy prosciutto. Arrange on a platter and serve.
