Recipe Details

Prep Time	15 minutes
Cook Time	20 minutes
Total Time	35 minutes
Servings	4 servings

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup honey mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 sandwich buns
Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for toppings

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, mix honey mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the sandwiches: spread the honey mustard sauce on the bun, add the chicken, and top with lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Handy Tips

For extra crispiness, fry the chicken breasts instead of baking them.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.

Ingredient Swaps

Chicken Breasts: You can use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
Honey Mustard: Substitute with spicy BBQ sauce for a different flavor.
Buns: Use whole grain or gluten-free buns for a healthier choice.
