Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 2 chicken breast fillets (about 150 g each)
- ½ cup (75 g) plain flour, seasoned
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1½ cups (90 g) panko breadcrumbs
- 2 long sesame sandwich rolls
- 4 cos or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- Oil, for shallow-frying
Method
- Pound the fillets to an even 1.5 cm thickness, long enough to overhang the roll — the Royale shape.
- Crumb them: flour, egg, then panko, pressing the crumbs on firmly.
- Shallow-fry 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on a rack.
- Toast the long rolls, sauce both sides with mayonnaise, add lettuce.
- Lay the hot crumbed fillet in and serve straight away.
