Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 medium plum tomatoes
• 4 kaiser or other hard rolls
• 1/4 c fine unseasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/4 c + 4 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 3/4 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 4 chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4# total)
• 1/4 c olive oil
• 1/4 c miracle whip or mayonnaise (optional)
• 4 leaves lettuce

Instructions

1. Slice the tomatoes. Cut the rolls in half horizontally.
2. In a plastic or small paper bag, combine the breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the oregano, and pepper.
3. Add the chicken cutlets and toss to coat them lightly.
4. In a large skillet, warm 3 T of the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and saute until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover loosely.
5. While the skillet is still hot, place one half of each of the rolls in the skillet to absorb some of the flavored oil.
6. Spread the other half of each roll with mayonnaise (if using). Top with lettuce, chicken cutlets, tomato sliced and a dusting (about 1 tsp) of additional Parmesan.
