Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken breast
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix
  • 2 slices cheese slices
  • 1 large sesame seed buns

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pound the 1 large chicken breast to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Set up a dredging station: 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, 1 beaten egg in another. Coat the chicken in flour, then egg, then flour again, pressing to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Toast the 1 sesame seed bun in the skillet. Place the fried chicken on the bottom bun, top with 2 cheese slices so they melt, then add 1 cup coleslaw mix, lettuce, and tomato.

  5. 5

    Close the sandwich and serve hot.
