Ingredients
For the chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1½ 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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up dredging stations: in one bowl, mix 1 cup flour with 2 tsp garlic powder; in another, place 1 cup panko breadcrumbs. Optional: have a small bowl of beaten egg for extra adhesion.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shake off excess, dip into egg wash if using, then press into panko until fully coated. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C), with a crispy, golden crust.
- While the chicken bakes, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, minced garlic, and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Slice the buns, spread a generous layer of garlic mayo on the bottom bun, add the chicken, and top with desired toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles. Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
