Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying
• 3 sandwich buns (brioche or your choice)
• Leafy greens (like lettuce or spinach) for serving

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwich Stack

1. Start by preparing the chicken. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Set up a breading station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure an even coating.
4. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken cutlets, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. While the chicken is frying, prepare the creamy peanut sauce. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
6. To assemble the sandwich stack, spread a layer of the peanut sauce on the bottom bun. Add one crispy chicken cutlet, followed by another layer of sauce, and then repeat with a second chicken cutlet. Top with leafy greens and finish with the top bun.
7. Repeat the process for the remaining buns and chicken cutlets. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying; this helps achieve that perfect crispy texture.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
• Feel free to double the sauce recipe if you love extra creaminess!

Easy Variations

• Swap out the peanut butter for almond butter for a different flavor.
• Add sliced pickles or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Use a different type of bread, like ciabatta or whole wheat, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries for a fun side dish.
• A fresh coleslaw to complement the crunch of the chicken.
• A light salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
