Ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1/4 cup Dill Pickle Brine
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions

  • Wrap the chicken loosely between layers of plastic wrap.
  • Pound gently with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/2-inch thick all around.
  • Cut into two pieces, as even as possible.
  • Marinate in the pickle juice for 30 minutes to one hour (add the Tabasco sauce now for a spicy sandwich).
  • Beat the egg with the milk in a bowl.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, and spices in another bowl (add the Cayenne Pepper now for a spicy sandwich).
  • Dip the chicken pieces each into the egg on both sides, then coat in flour on both sides.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet (1/2 inch deep) to about 345 - 350°F.
  • Fry each cutlet for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Blot on paper and serve on toasted buns with pickle slices.
