Three minced cloves of garlic

# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the chicken breasts to make four flat pieces. Dredge them by coating first with flour, then dipping in whisked egg, and finally pressing into the panko. Fry with olive oil on medium heat for about four minutes on each side until golden brown.
02 -
Blend everything for the romesco until you get a smooth texture. If it's too thick, just pour in a little more olive oil until it feels right. Keep it ready.
03 -
Stir together the sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, parmesan, and pepper. Toss that dressing over the chopped lettuce and rocket leaves to coat.
04 -
Combine the butter with the garlic and parsley. Cut the focaccia in half and slather the butter mixture evenly on the insides. Sprinkle grated parmesan generously on top and broil until bubbly and crisp.
05 -
Spread the romesco generously on both insides of the focaccia. Layer the crispy chicken and salad mix on the bottom. Cover with the top piece and press lightly. Wrap in parchment before serving.
