Ingredients
- 2 pieces vegetarian chicken fillets
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces burger buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 4 slices pickles
Instructions
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, mix all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
In the second dish, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
In the third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Take each vegetarian chicken fillet and first coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess.
Dip the fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Finally, press the fillet into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Set aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet.
When the oil is hot, add the breaded fillets. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the fillets are cooking, slice the burger buns and lightly toast them.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each half of the buns.
Once the fillets are cooked, place one on the bottom half of each bun.
Top each fillet with a lettuce leaf, slices of tomato, and pickles.
Place the top half of the bun over the fillings, pressing gently.
Serve the Vegetarian Crispy Breaded Chicken Sandwich immediately, alongside your favorite sides.
