make me
Ingredients
Serving Size: 2 sandwiches
Chili Crunch Aioli
½ cup mayonnaise
2–3 tbsp chili crunch (adjust heat to taste)
1/2 tbsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Chicken Cutlets
2 thin chicken cutlets, pounded to make them thinner
Salt & black pepper
½ cup flour
1 egg, beaten
¾ cup Italian breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan
Olive oil, for frying
Sandwich Assembly
4 slices sourdough bread
4 slices provolone cheese
2 small balls of Burrata (or 1/2 of a regular one)
8 slices prosciutto, bunched
1/3 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
Olive oil or butter, for toasting
Instructions
1. Make the Chili Crunch Aioli
In a small bowl, mix mayo, chili crunch, honey, lemon juice, and salt. Taste and adjust heat or acidity. Set aside.
2. Bread & Fry the Chicken
Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
Dredge in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, pressing to adhere.
Heat a generous layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a rack or paper towel.
3. Toast the Bread
I used a specific type of loaf, but if you have 2 slices of bread, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp butter to the pan and place one slice of bread on the skillet, top with 2 slices of provolone and then the other slice of bread. Flip and toast both sides to desired crunch. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Pull apart the two slices of bread and begin to layer
Slather of chili crunch aioli
Chicken cutlet
Buratta, broken apart
Sun-dried tomatoes, + a little tomato oil if desired
4 prosciutto bunches
Another swipe of aioli on the top bread
Close it up and press gently

This is the sandwich you make when you want something bold and kinda unhinged. A crispy chicken cutlet, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and sun-dried tomatoes layered on toasted sourdough, finished with my suuuuper delish, sweet & spicy chili crunch aioli. It’s rich and sexy, spicy without overpowering, and the kind of sandwich that sits just right.
