Chicken Caprese Sandwich

• 2 inches chicken breasts small, pounded very thin, 1/4 inch and cut half crosswise
• garlic powder
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Italian cheese your choice grated, I used and recommend Asiago
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices tomato ripe
• 2 1/4 inches fresh mozzarella slices of
• 6 basil leaves
• 2 sandwich buns

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
3. Combine breadcrumbs and cheese in shallow dish.
4. Heat oil in large oven proof pan over medium high heat. (If you do not have an oven proof pan, you can just use a rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.)
5. Dip chicken in egg and allow excess to drip off. Then dredge in breadcrumbs.
6. Place chicken in pan and quickly brown both sides of chicken breasts (2 minutes each side).
7. Place one mozzarella slice on two pieces of chicken. Transfer pan to oven and bake just until cheese begins to melt (3-5 minutes). Remove pan from oven (careful - the handle will be hot!)
8. Stack two pieces of chicken, one with mozzarella cheese, on sandwich bun. Top with 2 slices of tomato and 3 basil leaves.
