ITALIAN CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND PROVOLONE

Steps:

• 1. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, crushed red pepper, and salt. 2. Place flour in a separate wide, shallow bowl. Repeat with breadcrumbs. 3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. 4. Dip one chicken cutlet at a time in the flour, then in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip into the bowl.

Repeat with remaining slices. 5. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Boil broccoli rabe for 2 minutes; drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water.

Add broccoli rabe, crushed red pepper, and salt. Sauté 1-2 minutes more until just tender. 7. Place one split roll on a clean work surface. Place chicken cutlet on the bottom half of the roll. Top with ¼ of the broccoli rabe and 2 slices of cheese. Place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately. *Shopping Note: Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, rape, and broccoli raab, is a popular Italian vegetable.
