Number Of Ingredients 6

1.5 lbs chicken breast, pounded to quarter inch thickness
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons parmesan, finely grated
4 slices American Cheese
4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted

Steps:

Preparation: Heat griddle to 325 degrees F or medium high (or 12" skillet on medium). Cut chicken breast as needed to make 4 servings. Evenly sprinkle each one with salt, pepper and parmesan cheese on each side. Place prepared chicken breast on hot griddle (or in a skillet, working in two batches) and cook until a golden crust develops, about 5-7minutes one each side. Top each breast patty with cheese. To serve, place 1 breast patty on each bottom bun, add lettuce and tomato. Cover with top bun and serve immediately.
*To toast kaiser rolls, split and spread a light coat of mayonnaise on each side (Optional-sprinkle each side with a 1/2 teaspoon of parmesan for added flavor) place on a bake sheet with mayonnaise covered side up. Transfer to oven and broil until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a watchful eye as it goes from golden to burnt in a matter of seconds.
