Categories     Cheese     Chicken     Pork

Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided
Sugar
8 chicken cutlets (1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and pepper
8 slices Canadian bacon (1/2 pound total)
4 ounces sliced Swiss
5 ounces tender baby lettuces, such as spring mix (5 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. In a small bowl, mix together panko and 1 teaspoon oil until coated. In a small jar, combine vinegar, 1 tablespoon mustard, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and pinch of sugar; shake to combine. Season chicken with salt and pepper. On a rimmed baking sheet, make 4 stacks, sandwiching Canadian bacon and Swiss between 2 chicken cutlets. Brush tops with oil, season with salt and pepper, and broil until golden and cooked through, 7 minutes. Spread each stack with 1/2 teaspoon mustard and sprinkle with panko. Broil until panko is golden and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss lettuces with half the dressing (reserve remaining for Cornbread-Stuffed Shrimp), season with salt and pepper, and serve alongside chicken.
