Instructions

  1. 1
    Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally and pound to 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle chicken on both sides with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Prepare 3 shallow bowls: flour in the first, eggs whisked with milk in the second, and panko mixed with Parmesan in the third.
  4. 4
    Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with panko-Parmesan mixture.
  5. 5
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken cutlets 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside on a wire rack.
  6. 6
    Spread mayonnaise, then butter, on one side of each bread slice.
  7. 7
    Place 4 slices of bread, mayo-butter side down, on a work surface. Layer with cheddar and mozzarella, add a chicken cutlet, then more cheese. Top with remaining bread, mayo-butter side up.
  8. 8
    Grill sandwiches in a clean skillet over medium-low heat, 3-4 minutes per side, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
  9. 9
    Rest for 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.
