American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic chicken sandwich with crispy breaded chicken, fresh lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a toasted bun, served with a side of crispy fries and a pickle spear.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 large potatoes (for fries)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for fries)
• 4 dill pickle spears
• Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 cups)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F to keep cooked items warm. For fries: cut potatoes into thin strips, toss with 2 tbsp oil and salt, spread on baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
2. Meanwhile, prepare chicken: place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Set up breading station: flour in shallow dish; beat eggs in second dish; mix panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in third dish.
4. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, then egg, then panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry chicken in batches, 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
6. Toast buns in a dry skillet or oven until lightly golden. Spread mayonnaise on bottom buns, top with lettuce, tomato, chicken, and top bun.
7. Serve sandwiches with fries and pickle spears.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use buttermilk in the egg wash.
• To keep fries warm while cooking chicken, place them in the 200°F oven.
• Add cheese slices (like cheddar or Swiss) for a chicken melt variation.
