Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

How to Make Double Crispy Chicken Sandwich

1. Start by preparing the chicken. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a separate shallow dish, and the beaten eggs in another.
4. Coat each chicken fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with the panko mixture. Repeat this for all fillets.
5. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken fillets. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
6. During the last minute of frying, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken fillet to melt.
7. While the chicken is frying, in a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to create the creamy sauce.
8. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Toast the sesame seed buns in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
9. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the creamy sauce on the bottom bun, adding two crispy chicken fillets with melted cheddar, and topping with the other half of the bun.
10. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Double Crispy Chicken Sandwich!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to achieve a crispy exterior.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches if necessary.
• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.

Easy Variations

• Add sliced pickles or jalapeños for a tangy kick.
• Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack or Swiss for different flavor profiles.
• Use whole wheat buns for a healthier option.
• Try adding lettuce or tomato to freshen up the sandwich.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• A light coleslaw salad
• Garlic bread or cheesy breadsticks
• Pickle spears for a crunchy side
