Ingredients

2 chicken breast fillets, halved horizontally

1/2 cup seasoned flour

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup dried breadcrumbs

2 tablespoon olive oil

15 gram butter

4 focaccia rolls, split, toasted

4 slices tasty cheese

1/3 cup mayonnaise

Method

1.Dust chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg, turning. Coat in crumbs, pressing firmly. Place on a tray and chill for 15 minutes.

2.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line an oven tray with foil.

3.Heat oil and butter together in a large flying pan on medium. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, each side, until golden. Drain on paper towel then transfer to the prepared tray. Bake for a further 5-10 minutes.

4.Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. Toast focaccia halves. Place a cheese slice onto each lid and grill for 1-2 minutes, until melted. Spread mayonnaise over each base.

5.Top each base with lettuce, tomato and chicken. Finish with lid. Serve with wedges, if liked.
