Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Vegetable oil (for frying)
4 burger buns
Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo

Instructions

Pound chicken breasts between plastic wrap to about half an inch thick.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with seasoned flour (flour, salt, pepper), one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip into the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Drain excess oil on paper towels while keeping warm in a low oven.
Assemble sandwiches by layering toasted buns with lettuce, crispy chicken, tomatoes, pickles, and your choice of sauce.
