Ingredients

Scale

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 leaves of lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
1 medium tomato, sliced
4 soft burger buns
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

Prepare the chicken by placing the breasts between plastic wrap and gently pounding them to about half an inch thick.
Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with panko mixed with paprika.
Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip in egg, and coat well with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Drain excess oil on paper towels, then assemble your sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on buns and adding lettuce, tomato slices, and fried chicken.
Serve immediately while hot.

Keywords: For extra crunch, consider double-breading the chicken by dipping it back into the egg after the first breadcrumb coating. Customize your sandwich by adding spicy aioli or pickles for added flavor.
