Ingredients
  

  • 2 6 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • ½ cup Pork King Good pork crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pork King Good Salt and Vinegar seasoning
  • 4 slices Protein Sparing Bread
  • Butter Duck Fat or Avocado oil for toasting Protein Sparing Bread

OPTIONAL SANDWICH FIXINGS:

  • Mayo or Mustard
  • Lettuce
  • Cooked Bacon
  • Slice of Cheese omit if dairy free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer (or oven) to 390 degrees F. Click HERE to find the air fryer I LOVE!
  • Use a mallet or rolling pin to pound out the chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Crack the egg into a shallow baking dish and whisk to mix well. Place the Pork King Good pork crumbs and seasoning into another shallow dish.
  • Dredge chicken in the eggs and let any excess drip off, then dip both sides of the chicken in the Pork King Good pork crumbs.
  • Set the coated chicken into the air fryer (if using an oven or toaster oven, place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper). Repeat with remaining chicken breast.
  • Place in the air fryer or oven and cook for 10 minutes, flipping after 5; or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  • Meanwhile prepare the sandwich fixings. Cut 2 slices of protein sparing bread. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add a tablespoon or 2 of butter or duck fat. Add the slices of bread and fry on one side until golden. Remove and set onto a serving plate.
  • Smear mayo or mustard on the inside part of the bread. Place a piece of lettuce on the bread.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, place the chicken on top of the lettuce, add a slice of cheese and bacon if desired and top with the other slice of protein sparing bread.
  • Best served fresh!
