  • Perfect for gatherings: A crowd-pleaser that will impress friends and family.
  • Customizable: Make it your own with different toppings and sauces.

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 burger buns
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, and your favorite sauce (like mayo or hot sauce)

How to Make Triple Crispy Chicken Sandwich

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  2. Set up a breading station: in one bowl, add the flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the breaded chicken patties to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. In the last minute of cooking, place two slices of cheddar cheese on each chicken patty in the skillet to melt.
  7. Toast the burger buns in the remaining oil or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
  8. Assemble the sandwich: layer one crispy chicken patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, followed by a second patty, and then a third, topping it with the top bun. Add any optional toppings you like.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying; this ensures a crispy exterior.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary to maintain the oil temperature.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • Add avocado slices or spicy slaw for a fresh twist.
  • Use grilled chicken breasts instead of fried for a lighter option.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
  • A side of coleslaw for crunch and creaminess
  • Onion rings for that classic diner feel

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover chicken patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
