Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Place flour in a large shallow bowl.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk eggs and 1/4 cup water together.
Place breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Take one chicken cutlet at a time and dredge it in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Carefully coat the chicken cutlet with breadcrumbs, pressing them to adhere.
Fit a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy straight-sided skillet (not nonstick) with a deep-fry thermometer.
Pour enough oil into the skillet to measure 1/2 and heat it over medium-high heat until the thermometer registers 315° (use moderate heat as chicken breasts are thin and will cook quickly).
Fry the chicken in 3 batches until it turns golden brown and crisp, approximately 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet and season it with salt.
Build sandwiches by layering chicken, avocado, cheese, lettuce, arugula, mint, Escabeche de Verduras (click for recipe), and rolls.
