About this recipe
A cutlet burger is all about the thin, even crust. Pounding the chicken means it cooks in a few minutes and stays tender from edge to edge.
Sesame buns toast well and give a little crunch that matches the breading.
Why this recipe works
- Pounding the chicken makes the cook time short and even.
- A three-step breading stays put.
- Toasting the bun keeps it from tasting steamed.
Variations
- Use panko for a rougher crust.
- Add a slice of cheese in the last minute of frying.
How to serve
Wrap the bottom in a little paper if you are eating it by hand. It is a tidy weeknight burger.
Storage and reheating
Cooked patties keep up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Store buns and toppings separately so nothing goes soggy. Reheat patties in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water until hot in the center, then melt fresh cheese on top.
