Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/4 head of savoy cabbage, cored, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 tablespoons (or more) olive oil, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
8 slices white Pullman bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Toss red onion and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to coat; let sit 5 minutes to allow onion to soften slightly. Rinse under running water, then shake off excess water. Place onion in a medium bowl and add cabbage, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil. Toss to combine and season slaw with salt and pepper.
  • Pound chicken thighs with a meat mallet or a rolling pin between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4" thick. Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, mustard, and cayenne in another shallow bowl.
  • Place panko in a third shallow bowl. Working with 2 thighs at a time, season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in cornstarch, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, shaking off excess.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches and adding more oil to skillet between batches if needed, cook chicken thighs until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Spread mayo over one side of bread slices and build sandwiches with cutlets and slaw.
  • Do Ahead
  • Slaw can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

I love the combination of flavors in this sandwich. The chicken cutlets are savory, the cabbage slaw is tangy, and the bread is soft and fluffy.

Not a fan of the cabbage slaw, but the chicken cutlets were on point.

This sandwich was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly.

The chicken cutlets were a bit dry, but the cabbage slaw was delicious. I'll try again with a different chicken recipe.
