1. Start by heating your griddle to 325 degrees F or a medium-high setting if using a skillet. The right heat is crucial for achieving that golden crust.
2. Prep your chicken breasts: Cut them as needed to ensure that you have four even pieces. This helps when it comes to cooking evenly.
3. Generously sprinkle each piece with salt, black pepper, and parmesan on both sides. This combination will create a delicious flavor profile.
4. Now, place the seasoned chicken breasts on the hot griddle or skillet. If your skillet isn’t large enough, cook them in batches.
5. Cook the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Look for a golden crust to develop, which indicates they're cooking nicely.
6. Once the chicken is close to being done, top each breast with a slice of American cheese, allowing it to melt perfectly over the chicken.
7. To assemble, take a toasted kaiser roll and place one cheesy chicken patty on the bottom. You can add fresh lettuce and tomato to boost flavor and freshness.
8. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately. The warmth of the chicken and cheese with the crunch of the bun is irresistible!
9. If you’re toasting the rolls, split them first and spread a light coat of mayonnaise on each side. You can sprinkle a little bit of parmesan on top for added flavor if you'd like.
10. Finally, place them on a baking sheet with the mayonnaise side up and broil until they are golden, watching carefully to ensure they don’t burn.
