Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 4 slices Pickles

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the chicken fillets.

Step 3

Set up a breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the egg in a second shallow dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure a good coating of breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by combining the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster for a warm, slightly crisp texture.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the spicy mayo on the bottom halves of the buns, then layer with a lettuce leaf, a chicken fillet, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Funky Chicken Sandwich!
