Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ½-inch thickness)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 slices turkey breast
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the chicken by placing each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pounding to an even ½-inch thickness
  2. Set up breading station with three shallow dishes: flour in first, beaten eggs in second, and combined panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in third
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in egg mixture, then press firmly into breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly
  4. Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F
  5. While chicken cooks, prepare honey mustard sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth
  6. Transfer cooked chicken to baking sheet, top each cutlet with two slices of turkey and two slices of Swiss cheese, then broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted
  7. Drizzle with honey mustard sauce and serve immediately

Notes

For crispiest results, ensure oil is properly heated before adding chicken. Don't overcrowd the pan. Sauce can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator for up to a week. Chicken can be breaded and refrigerated for 24 hours before cooking.
