Where to get the best chicken cutlet sandwich on the North Shore

If you ask around Locust Valley where to get a chicken cutlet sandwich, you’ll hear one name over and over: Country Plaza Delicatessen at 105 Forest Ave. Our breaded chicken cutlets are the thing regulars order most, and they’re the backbone of our hot specialty hero menu.

What makes a great chicken cutlet sandwich?

A great cutlet is always fresh, never frozen and breaded in-house daily — the whole breast pounded down, not a thin sliced cutlet — cooked so the outside stays crisp even under sauce and cheese. Then it goes on a hero with enough fillings that you need both hands. We won’t share the recipe, but we will share this: between grilled, Cajun and regular, we go through five or six catering trays of cutlets on a busy summer Saturday.

Which chicken cutlet sandwiches does Country Plaza Deli make?

Every one of these is served on a hero:

  • Locust Valley: chicken cutlet, mozzarella, bacon, lettuce, tomato, BBQ sauce and ranch. Our town’s namesake, and a regular favorite.
  • The Locust Valley hero at Country Plaza Delicatessen - chicken cutlet, mozzarella, bacon, lettuce, tomato, BBQ sauce and ranch
  • Carolina Crusher: chicken cutlet, Jarlsberg, BBQ sauce, fried onions, lettuce and tomato.

  • Yankee Peddler: chicken cutlet, bacon, cheddar and coleslaw.
  • Cordon Bleu: chicken cutlet, ham, Jarlsberg, mayo and honey mustard.

Can I get a chicken cutlet without the hero?

Yes. Chicken Parmigiana is on our daily specials, made with our breaded cutlets over spaghetti and marinara. You can also add a fried cutlet to any salad from the salad bar, or get it in a wrap like the Chicken, Cheddar & Bacon.
