Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

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

Garlic Mayo

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

Assembly

  • Soft buns for assembly

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper, ensuring flavor throughout.
  3. Prepare Dredging Stations: Set up two shallow bowls – in one, combine all-purpose flour and garlic powder; in the other, place panko breadcrumbs for coating.
  4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture first, then optionally dip into an egg wash to help the breadcrumbs adhere, and finally roll thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated for maximum crispiness.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Make Garlic Mayo: While the chicken bakes, combine mayonnaise, minced fresh garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well to create a tangy and flavorful garlic mayo spread.
  7. Assemble Sandwiches: Once the chicken is cooked and slightly cooled, slice or keep whole and place on soft buns. Generously spread the garlic mayo over the buns and add any desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
  8. Serve: Serve the crispy chicken sandwiches immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • For extra moisture and better breadcrumb adherence, dip the chicken in a beaten egg wash between flour and panko coating steps.
  • You can add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the garlic mayo for additional flavor.
  • To keep the chicken extra juicy, consider marinating it briefly in buttermilk before breading.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked but not overbaked.
  • Add fresh toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles to enhance texture and freshness.
  • Using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs provides a lighter and crispier crust.
