Fried Chicken SandwichGrilled Chicken Sandwich

This sandwich is inspired by classic American diner fare, often served in bakeries and cafes.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles
  • Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. 1In a bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. 4In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour, coating evenly.
  5. 5Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. 6Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.
  7. 7While the chicken is baking, prepare the sandwich buns by toasting them lightly if desired.
  8. 8Once the chicken is done, assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, adding lettuce, a slice of tomato, pickles, and the baked chicken breast on top.
  9. 9Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
