Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 burger buns
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
• Lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
• Tomato slices (optional, for serving)

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwiches with Herb Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, for even cooking.
3. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one bowl, whisk the eggs in a second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
4. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
6. While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy herb sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, parsley, dill, chives, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, toast the burger buns in the oven for the last 5 minutes if desired.
8. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the herb sauce on the bottom half of each bun, add a crispy chicken breast, and top with lettuce and tomato slices if using. Close with the top half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your crave-worthy crispy chicken sandwiches!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumbs.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking for juicier results.
• Use fresh herbs for the sauce; they make a world of difference in flavor.

Easy Variations

• Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for a kick.
• Swap the sauce: Try a spicy aioli or honey mustard for a different flavor profile.
• Make it a wrap: Use large tortillas instead of buns for a fun twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• Pickles for a tangy bite
• A simple side salad to balance the meal
