Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the chicken fillets.
Set up a breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the egg in a second shallow dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure a good coating of breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by combining the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster for a warm, slightly crisp texture.
Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the spicy mayo on the bottom halves of the buns, then layer with a lettuce leaf, a chicken fillet, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Funky Chicken Sandwich!
