Equipment

Directions

  1. Split each chicken breast in half lengthwise to form 2 cutlets.

  6. Return pan to medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
  7. Spread one side of each bread slice evenly with 1/2 teaspoon butter.
  8. Place 4 bread slices, buttered side down, in pan. Top each bread slice in pan with 2 tablespoons cheese; toast bread for 2 minutes or until underside is toasted and cheese melts.
  9. Remove the bread from pan. Recoat pan with cooking spray.
  10. Place the remaining 4 bread slices, buttered side down, in pan; toast 2 minutes or until toasted.
  11. Remove from pan.
  12. Top each cheese-topped bread slice with 1 chicken cutlet.
