Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• Oil for frying

How to Make Crispy Chicken Cheese Burger

1. Start by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
3. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken patties and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
5. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to help melt the cheese.
6. While the chicken is cooking, toast the sesame seed buns in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
7. Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, add a cheesy chicken patty, and top with fresh tomato slices. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that golden crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches if necessary.
• For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar for your favorite cheese, like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add lettuce and pickles for extra crunch and flavor.
• Try a spicy mayo by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• A fresh side salad with vinaigrette
• Coleslaw for a creamy contrast
• Onion rings for extra crunch
