Description
A satisfying crispy dill chicken sandwich featuring juicy chicken breast, tangy dill sauce, and fresh toppings, perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crispiness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 burger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- After marinating, prepare your breading station. Set up three bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another with the beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with additional spices.
- Take a chicken breast from the marinade, dredge it in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and coat it in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- In a large skillet, heat about an inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the skillet in batches.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken rests, whip up your dill sauce by combining mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Assemble the sandwiches with a piece of crispy chicken, drizzle with dill sauce, and top with lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
Notes
For a healthier take, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. To make a vegan version, substitute chicken with chickpea patties and use vegan mayo.
