Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup chicken gravy (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Mashed Potatoes

1. Start by preparing the mashed potatoes. Peel and chop the russet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.
2. Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while you prepare the chicken.
3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a deep fryer if you prefer frying. If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
5. Take each chicken breast and pound it to an even thickness for even cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
6. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the panko breadcrumbs.
7. If baking, place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). If frying, heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet and fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until crispy and fully cooked.
8. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning as needed.
9. To assemble, place a crispy chicken patty on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun. Top with shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of the creamy sauce. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
10. Serve the sandwiches with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, topped with warm chicken gravy.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is hot enough if frying to achieve that perfect crispiness.
• Don’t skip the resting time for the mashed potatoes; it allows the flavors to meld.
• For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in egg and breadcrumbs.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for a crispy plant-based patty for a vegetarian version.
• Add pickles or jalapeños for an extra kick.
• Use different sauces such as ranch or BBQ for a flavor twist.

What to Serve With It

• Coleslaw for a crunchy side.
• Sweet potato fries for a sweet contrast.
• A simple green salad for freshness.
• Corn on the cob for a classic touch.
