Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Creamy Sauce

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly.
  2. Set up a breading station: In one bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the chicken: First, dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it in the beaten egg, and finally, coat it in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
  4. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of bread; if it sizzles, it’s time to fry.
  5. Fry the chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  6. Prepare the creamy sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the sesame seed buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the crispy chicken on top, add any optional toppings, and finish with the top bun.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy chicken sandwiches!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to avoid greasy results.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary to maintain oil temperature.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
  • Add spices like cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a kick.
  • Try adding cheese slices during the last minute of frying for a melty addition.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy sweet potato fries
  • Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
  • A simple green salad
  • Pickle spears for a tangy contrast

Storage and Reheating

Leftover crispy chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
