Flattened Chicken Breasts - for Sandwiches

These are wonderful as a sandwich, or you can use them as a true "Chicken Fried Steak" and pour some gravy over them.

Flattened Chicken Breasts  - for Sandwiches

4 to 6 chicken breast tenders (1/2 a breast)
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. basil
1/2 can evaporated milk
Oil for frying

Lay chicken tender between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound out with a mallet or other heavy object until the chicken is flattened.  Mix Panko, flour, and seasonings in a wide bowl.  In a second bowl add the evaporated milk.

Dip the chicken breast into the flour mixture first, then the milk and then back again into the flour. Set aside and repeat until all chicken pieces are coated.

Bring oil up to 375 degrees and drop breaded chicken into the oil.  When it browns on one side, turn to brown the second side.  Drain on a paper towel.  

Serve on bread or with gravy over top.

Enjoy!
