Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Seal chicken breast in a resealable zip-top plastic bag. Pound flat to 1/4-inch thickness. Add cornstarch and shake to coat.
- Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken breast through the egg; leave it in the bowl. Add bread crumbs, cilantro, chipotle, oregano, cumin, and pepper to the bag; shake well. Lift chicken from the bowl, letting any excess egg drip off. Add to the bread crumb mixture. Shake and press the seasoned bread crumbs over the chicken breast.
- Place bolillo buns in the preheated oven until warmed through and toasted, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce together in a small mixing bowl.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut the chicken in half lengthwise.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the spicy mayonnaise over both sides of the rolls. Add equal amounts of avocado, tomato, lettuce, carrots, and jalapenos to 2 halves. Add chicken and the tops of the rolls. Serve with the remaining spicy mayonnaise for dipping.

Steps:
- Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally and pound the thicker ends to 1/4 inch thick. Cut the bigger pieces in half; you want to end up with sandwich-size pieces.
- Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle one side of the chicken pieces with salt and slip them into the beaten eggs. Mix with your hands to coat. The chicken can be cooked right away, or let marinate in the refrigerator up to overnight.
- Sprinkle some panko on a small rimmed baking sheet. Put a piece of chicken on top,and cover with more panko. Then, with your fist, pound the panko into the chicken to adhere. Pound slowly at first, and then a little harder, until the crumbs stick.
- Pour 1/4 inch of oil (about 1 cup) into a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium to medium-high heat. It's ready when a sprinkle of panko sizzles. Fry 1 to 2 cutlets at a time, without crowding, flipping only once, until nicely browned, about 3 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels.

Tips:
- For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are about 1/2-inch thick. If your chicken is thicker, you can pound it out with a meat mallet until it is the desired thickness.
- To make the breading, you can use a variety of different types of bread, such as white bread, wheat bread, or even cornbread. Just make sure that the bread is stale so that it will absorb the eggs and milk better.
- When you are breading the chicken, be sure to press the bread crumbs firmly into the chicken so that they adhere well. This will help to prevent the breading from falling off during cooking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning. If you cook the chicken over too high heat, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be raw.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
