Description
A delicious and healthier version of the classic Bang Bang Chicken Sandwich that is crispy, spicy, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken Breasts, sliced in half horizontally
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
- 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 Lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg)
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 2 Brioche Buns (or whole-grain buns)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (or parsley)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Clean and pat dry chicken breasts, then slice in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
- Bread the Chicken: Set up a breading station with flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a bowl. Adjust spice level to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast brioche buns and spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom half. Add crispy chicken, lettuce, tomato, and cilantro before placing the top half of the bun.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider air frying the chicken instead of frying in oil.
