Korean Kimchi Cheese Double Chicken Sandwich

This towering Korean-inspired sandwich features double crispy chicken cutlets, melted cheese, and a spicy punch of kimchi, all layered securely between soft pumpkin bread.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken cutlets
• 3 slices pumpkin bread
• 1 egg
• 1 slice low-fat cheese
• 2 tbsp kimchi
• 1 tomato
• 1 handful lettuce
• 1 handful purple cabbage
• 2 tbsp sweet corn
• 2 tbsp chicken floss
• 1 tbsp honey mustard
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Fry the egg

   

   Heat a non-stick frying pan with a small splash of oil over medium heat. Crack an egg directly into the pan and fry it to your preferred level of doneness, letting the edges crisp up slightly.

   Tip: For a perfectly round egg, use a silicone egg ring or fry it slowly on lower heat so the whites dont spread too much.
2. 2Cook the chicken cutlets

   

   Once the chicken cutlets are fully thawed, carefully place them into the hot frying pan. Let them sizzle and cook undisturbed until the bottom side becomes golden brown and crispy.

   Tip: Make sure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the chicken to prevent it from sticking and to ensure a good sear.
3. 3Season with chili flakes

   

   While the chicken cutlets are frying in the pan, sprinkle a generous amount of chili flakes evenly over the top surface. The heat will toast the spices and infuse the meat with a gentle spicy kick.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your heat preference, or add a pinch of salt and black pepper if desired.
4. 4Slice the tomatoes

   

   Wash the fresh red tomatoes and place them on a clean wooden cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice them into even, medium-thick rounds to be layered inside the sandwich.

   Tip: Use a serrated knife if your tomatoes are very ripe; it cuts through the skin effortlessly without crushing the delicate flesh.
5. 5Apply Honey Mustard

   

   Squeeze honey mustard evenly over the slice of pumpkin bread layered with the pan-fried chicken cutlet.

   Tip: Spread the sauce evenly to ensure every bite has a balanced sweet and savory flavor.
6. 6Layer the tomatoes

   

   Take the freshly cut tomato slices and arrange them in an even, slightly overlapping layer directly on top of the seasoned chicken cutlets. This adds a burst of freshness and juicy texture to the heavy sandwich.

   Tip: Pat the tomato slices lightly with a paper towel before adding them to prevent the sandwich bread from getting soggy.
7. 7Add Kimchi Layer

   

   Add a generous portion of kimchi on top of the existing ingredients to give the sandwich a spicy, crunchy kick.

   Tip: Drain excess kimchi juice slightly so the bread doesnt become soggy.
8. 8Sprinkle Chicken Floss

   

   Sprinkle a flavorful layer of chicken floss evenly over the sandwich fillings to enhance the savory depth.

   Tip: Distribute the chicken floss evenly to maintain texture throughout the sandwich.
9. 9Add Cheese Slice

   

   Place a slice of low-fat cheese directly on top of the hot ingredients so it can slightly melt into the layers.

   Tip: Position the cheese centrally so it holds the upper layers together.
10. 10Wrap in Parchment Paper

    

    Wrap the thick, multi-layered sandwich tightly using checkered parchment paper to keep all ingredients secure before cutting.

    Tip: Pull the paper snug and crisp the folds so the sandwich stays intact when sliced.
11. 11Slice in Half and Serve

    

    Use sharp kitchen shears or a serrated knife to cleanly slice the wrapped sandwich in half down the middle, revealing the colorful, distinct layers of chicken, egg, vegetables, and melted cheese inside.

    Tip: Cut firmly and smoothly to avoid shifting the packed ingredients.
