Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and add milk. Mix until combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Place the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere the crumbs to both sides.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 11

Cut the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly in a hot pan or toaster.

Step 12

Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the toasted buns.

Step 13

Assemble the burger by placing lettuce leaves on the bottom half of the bun, followed by the breaded chicken breast, sliced tomato, and top with the bun lid.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy your crispy breaded chicken burger.
