Okay, ladies and gents, let me spill the tea on my absolute favorite “fancy fast food” recipe that’s about to make you look like a culinary queen (or king) without breaking a sweat! Trust me, this Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Sandwich with Honey Sriracha Mayo is what dreams are made of.
Listen, we’ve all been there – wanting to impress someone special but not wanting to spend hours in the kitchen. This recipe is my go-to when I want to feel fancy but also want to binge-watch my favorite show (no judgment here!).
What You’ll Need:
– 2 chicken breasts
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (the good stuff, not the powdery kind!)
– 2 eggs
– Brioche buns (because we’re feeling extra)
– Butter lettuce
– Ripe tomato slices
– For the sauce: mayo, honey, Sriracha, and a squeeze of lime
Girl, let me tell you how to make this magic happen!
First things first, butterfly those chicken breasts – and if you’re like me and get a little nervous about even cutting, just put them between plastic wrap and pound them thin. No one needs to know about the minor kitchen chaos that ensued! 😉
(By the way, if you’re loving this recipe already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance!)
Mix your panko and Parmesan in one bowl, beat those eggs in another. Dip the chicken in egg, then coat it in that heavenly Parmesan mixture. Pro tip: Really press that coating on there – we want it THICC!
Heat up some oil in a pan (medium-high heat, honey), and fry those babies until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes each side. The sound of that sizzle is literally music to my ears!
While that’s cooking, mix your sauce: 1/2 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, and a lime squeeze. Trust me, this sauce is so good you’ll want to put it on everything!
Assembly time! Toast those brioche buns (because we’re not savages), spread that amazing sauce, add your crispy chicken, lettuce, and tomato. And voilà! You’ve got yourself a sandwich that puts those drive-thru options to shame!
Y’all, this sandwich is seriously addictive. My boyfriend literally proposed to me after trying this (kidding… maybe 😏). It’s crispy, juicy, sweet, spicy, and everything nice-y!
