Ingredients
PESTO: 1 (6 oz) jar oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
3 cloves garlic
2 Tbs pine nuts
3/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbs lemon juice
CHICKEN: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan, grated (divided)
1 Tbs dried oregano
1 Tbs dried basil
vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup mozzarella, grated
1 cup arugula leaves
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
4 sandwich buns
Directions
- Add all pesto ingredients to food processor. Pulse to combine. Process until smooth; set aside.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Using three shallow bowls, add flour to one bowl. In next bowl, lightly beat eggs. In third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup parmesan, oregano and basil. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in egg and then breadcrumb mixture. Set coated chicken aside on a plate.
- Over medium heat, add vegetable oil to deep skillet. Heat oil to 350° F. Carefully, add chicken to pan, cooking two pieces at a time. Cook until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to foil-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken. Place in 350° F oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking.
- Remove chicken from oven. Top each chicken breast with 1/4 cup mozzarella. Divide remaining parmesan between chicken breasts. Heat broiler to high. Place chicken under broiler to melt cheese, about 2 minutes. Remove when cheese begins to bubble.
- Combine arugula, olive oil and balsamic in bowl. Toss to combine. Spread a generous layer of pesto on buns. Add a chicken breast and some arugula to each sandwich.
