Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup pickles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
- In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- While the chicken is baking, toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until lightly browned.
- Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a crispy chicken breast, a slice of cheddar cheese, and pickles.
- Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
The history of the crispy chicken sandwich dates back to the 1940s when it first appeared on menus in the Southern United States. This iconic dish gained popularity for its succulent, breaded chicken breast, fried to golden perfection and served on a soft, buttery bun. Chefs in the South, particularly in cities like Nashville and Atlanta, are known for perfecting this dish, infusing it with their unique blend of spices and seasonings. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in trendy urban eateries and fast-casual restaurants across the country. The key to a perfect crispy chicken sandwich lies in the juicy, tender chicken breast and the crispy, flavorful breading. Some famous alternative methods for making this dish include marinating the chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce before breading, or adding a spicy kick with a cayenne pepper-infused coating.
