Preparation
Preheat oven 350˚F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently pound chicken breast to flatten; season with salt and pepper. Place 2-3 slices capicola, 1 slice cheese and 2 basil leaves on one side of chicken breast. Fold other side of breast over like a book. Secure with toothpicks.
In shallow bowl, place eggs and beat with fork. In another shallow bowl, place panko. Dip chicken into egg, then into panko, pressing to coat. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches 2 to 3 minutes or until golden on the outside.
Place chicken on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
