Ingredients-

  • Bread- you want to use Italian, sourdough, or Homemade White Bread that is thick and will keep its shape.
  • Chicken- we used chicken cutlets (tenderloins).
  • Bacon- your favorite bacon will work.
  • Avocado- fresh avocado that is ripe.
  • Sauce- we used half a portion of our Spicy Mayo as the sauce.
  • Tomato- we like tomatoes on the vine for this sandwich but any ripe big tomato will work.
  • Cheese- though we used provolone, your favorite cheese will work; sliced or shredded cheese.
Cooking the Sandwich:
If you don’t have a panini press, use a skillet with a splash of olive oil, an air fryer, or a griddle. You just want that bread crispy as it adds so much flavor!

How to make Chicken Cutlet Sandwich-

  • Make sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayo, sriracha (or hot sauce), lemon juice, sugar, and chili powder.
  • Cook chicken and bacon: Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Add to skillet with the bacon and cook until 2-3 minutes per side. If the grease from the bacon is not enough, add oil.
  • Assemble: Spread the sauce over the bread, we like to add it to both slices. Add chicken, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese.
  • Cook sandwich: Close the sandwich and cook in a panini press unless the bread is crispy and the cheese melts.
  • Serve and enjoy!

frequently asked questions-

Can I use a different cut of chicken?

Yes, if you don’t have chicken cutlets on hand, chicken thighs or chicken breast will work, just be sure to beat the chicken so it’s even in thickness.

Can I freeze leftover chicken?

Yes, Once the chicken is cooked, place it in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in the oven, microwave, or air fryer until reheated.

How to store leftovers?

This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately.

Can I make this sandwich in advance?

Yes, prep this sandwich by cooking the chicken and bacon and storing it in an airtight container. Make the sauce and keep it separate. Then just assemble and cook.
