Have you ever read a recipe or seen one made on a show and obsessed over it until you absolutely HAD to make that recipe? When Alex Guarnaschelli said that she had the Ultimate Chicken Cutlet Sandwich on The Best Thing I Ever Made, I was intrigued. I knew the sandwich would take a bit of prep and, quite frankly, I didn’t feel like whipping out the frying pan and getting oil splatter everywhere. However, the thought of that sandwich had me obsessed. Finally, I took the plunge and, if we must be honest, Chef Guarnaschelli is no joke -this is The Ultimate Chicken Sandwich.
I switched up the recipe a bit, removing the sage and adding some Monterey Jack cheese to the mix along with one of my faves, Aleppo pepper (which – interesting sidenote, I never tried it until Chef Guarnaschelli said it was the perfect addition to a grilled cheese and it is now a pantry staple in my house – I use it in many dishes). I went with arugula because I love that peppery bite and lightened up the mayo schmear a bit. Yes, the recipe is a bit complicated. Yes, it’s not low in calories. Yes, it’s worth the effort.
This Ultimate Chicken Sandwich is a tried and true – and, my friends, this is the best chicken sandwich I ever made.
On to the recipe:

Nothing wrong with toasting a bit of cheese, right?
Don’t you want a bite now?
