• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Work in batches as necessary, adding more oil when needed.
• Serve with lemon wedges.
• Take the Bambino Roll bun and place it in the over at 400 degrees for about 5-10 minutes or until lightly toasted.
• While the buns are toasting, take the mayo and mix it with the pesto.
• Take the buns out of the oven and spread the mayo pesto mixture on the insides of the bread.
• Lay on a warm Bambino Roll Bun and top of a layer of greens and tomatoes and serve!
• Place lettuce on the bottom and then two cutlets, topping them with tomato and finally the top of the bun.
