Ingredients

Breaded Chicken Breasts

  • 1 large breast of chicken, split down the middle
  • 1/2 cup GF flour 1/2 cup GF breadcrumbs (or GF panko)
  • An egg, huge, beaten lightly

For the Sandwich

  • ½ little Red onion scallion cut thin circles
  • 4 leaves of romaine or iceberg lettuce
  • 1 small tomato sliced thin circles

Spicy Paprika Cream Sauce

  • Mayonnaise, equivalent to 5 tablespoons
  • Sour cream, about 5 teaspoons worth
  • 1/8 of a teaspoon of mustard, seeded
  • Dijon mustard, one-fourth teaspoon
  • Half a spoonful of sweet pickle relish
  • 1/4 teaspoon of vinegar from white wines
  • Paprika, either regular or sweet, a quarter teaspoon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of dried garlic
  • Powdered onion equivalent to a quarter teaspoon

Instructions

  • Set aside all sauce ingredients.
  • Pound chicken breast with Salt and pepper.
  • Flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in three bowls.
  • Coat chicken breast with Flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Coat chicken well, especially near the end.
  • Cook each chicken breast for 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes with provolone cheese. Crisp, golden-brown chicken is ideal.
  • Place cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined dish to absorb excess oil.
