Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 large egg
- 4 burger buns

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

How to Make Stacked Chicken Sandwich
- Begin by preparing the chicken patties. Place the chicken breasts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not pureed.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties. Ensure they are thick enough to hold up when stacked.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom. Once hot, add the chicken patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create a quick sauce.
- To assemble, spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bottom half of each burger bun. Layer with shredded lettuce, a chicken patty, and then top with the other half of the bun. Repeat for each sandwich.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your stacked chicken sandwich!
Tips for the Best Results
For optimal flavor, let the chicken mixture chill for 30 minutes before forming patties. This helps the flavors meld and makes the patties easier to handle. Also, ensure your skillet is hot enough to achieve a crispy exterior without drying out the chicken.
Easy Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add some cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the chicken mixture for a spicy version.
- Different Cheese: Swap cheddar for pepper jack or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Extra Toppings: Add tomato slices, pickles, or avocado for an elevated experience.
What to Serve With It
- Sweet potato fries
- Coleslaw
- Potato salad
- Fresh fruit salad
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover chicken patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side until warmed through. You can also use the microwave, but the patties may lose their crispiness.
