Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 soft sandwich buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Lettuce and tomato slices for topping (optional)

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwich

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, set up a breading station: place the flour in one bowl, beat the egg in another bowl, and combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
  3. Take each chicken breast and pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) for even cooking.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off before coating it in the panko mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
  5. Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with a little oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. While the chicken is baking, prepare the herb mayo. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
  8. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  9. Toast the sandwich buns in the oven for the last 2-3 minutes of the chicken’s cooking time, if desired.
  10. Assemble your sandwich: spread a generous amount of herb mayo on the bottom half of each bun, add the crispy chicken, top with lettuce and tomato if using, and finish with the top bun.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to pound the chicken to ensure even cooking.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.
  • Keep an eye on the chicken towards the end of the baking time to prevent overcooking.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the herbs in the mayo for your favorites, like basil or cilantro.
  • Add cheese for a melty twist—try cheddar or pepper jack.
  • Use whole wheat buns or lettuce wraps for a lighter option.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy sweet potato fries
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy side
  • A fresh garden salad
  • Potato chips for a classic pairing

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Reassemble the sandwich just before serving.
