Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Mayo

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

For Assembly

  • Soft buns for assembly

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature ensures your chicken will bake quickly and develop a beautiful crispy coating.
  2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Prepare Dredging Stations: In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with garlic powder. In a separate bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. Optionally, you can have a bowl with beaten eggs for an egg wash to help the breadcrumbs stick better.
  4. Coat the Chicken: First, dredge each chicken breast in the flour and garlic powder mixture, shaking off excess. Then, if using, dip into the egg wash. Finally, coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  6. Make the Garlic Mayo: While the chicken cooks, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and flavorful.
  7. Assemble the Sandwich: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, spread a generous amount of garlic mayo onto the soft buns. Place the crispy baked chicken on the bun, add any desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles, and top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately for the best texture and taste. Enjoy your crispy chicken sandwich with garlic mayo!

Notes

  • You can add an egg wash (1 beaten egg) between the flour and panko steps to help the coating stick better.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for 1-2 hours before coating.
  • Feel free to add fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomato, or pickles to your sandwich for added crunch and freshness.
  • Use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts; always check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure safety.
