KFC debuted a new sandwich called the Double Down. It has been dubbed angina on a plate and worse by many. Here is a healthier, tastier diabetic recipe Double Down that you can make at home. There are two variations of the Double Down: one with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, the other with an arugula salad. You can easily add a filling of your choice.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded until 1/4″ thick
1 cup flour
½ t. kosher salt
¼ t. freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
2 T. butter
Directions
1. Combine the flour, kosher salt and black pepper on a plate. Add the eggs to another plate and combine with about 1 Tablespoon of water. Combine the bread crumbs and the parmesan on a third plate.
2. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture first, then the egg wash, and finally with the bread crumbs and parmesan.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 Tablespoon of the butter and 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil. Place two of the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a rack and place in a 200 degree oven to keep warm. Melt the remaining butter in the remaining oil and cook the last 2 chicken breasts.
