Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 brioche buns
  • Fresh lettuce (to taste)
  • Sliced tomatoes (to taste)
  • Dill pickles (to taste)
  • Mayonnaise or mustard (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and pat dry.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour (paprika and garlic powder mixed in), one with beaten eggs mixed with a splash of water, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg mixture, followed by panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Toast brioche buns in the same skillet until golden.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by spreading mayo or mustard on both sides of the buns and layering with lettuce, tomato slices, crispy chicken, and pickles.
