Ingredients
For the fried chicken:
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- ½ Tablespoon water
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or grated
- ¾ cup Panko Japanese bread crumbs
- 2 boneless skinless chicken filets (about 4 ounces each)
- 2 Tablespoons cooking oil
- 4 slices bacon, cut each in half
For the lettuce slaw topping:
- 1 ½ cups lettuce
- ⅛ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 deli sandwich rolls, or buns
Instructions
For the fried chicken:
- Arrange 3 shallow dishes side by side. First shallow dish: Mix flour, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Second shallow dish: Whisk egg and water together. Third shallow dish: Stir together 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and Panko bread crumbs.
- Pat-dry each chicken with a paper towel. Place filets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound flat with a meat mallet.
- Dredge each chicken in flour mixture and shake off excess flour. Dip each in egg mixture. Coat each in Panko and Parmesan mixture. Press on extra Panko mixture to coat.
- Heat cooking oil in half of a 16 inch electric skillet to 375 degrees F.
- On the oiled half of the skillet, fry chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. At the same time in the other half of the pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain all on a wire rack or paper towel.
For the lettuce slaw topping:
- Cut lettuce into shreds. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, mayo, sugar, salt and pepper. Combine lettuce shreds with creamy mayo mixture.
To assemble:
- Cut deli sandwich rolls in half if they are not pre-split. Place bottom halves onto serving plates. Top with chicken, bacon, and lettuce mixture. Add tops of the sandwich rolls, serve and enjoy!
