Boneless chicken breast marinated in a perfectly seasoned buttermilk mixture, breaded and grilled to perfection (baked recipe included also). This results in the most flavorful moist crispy chicken sandwich you have ever eaten. This easy recipe will need a permanent place in your file.
Chad and I love chicken sandwiches. Truth be told I could probably eat a good breaded chicken sandwich every night and be completely happy about it. I love the crisp coating and the tender chicken inside. This recipe was created to pacify my need to have breaded chicken sandwiches and the desire not to have to get it at a restaurant.
It all starts with an incredible buttermilk marinade. After about a 30 minute bath the chicken is good and coated. Leaving it overnight creates an even more amazing flavor. A dip in the bread crumbs and a spray with olive oil makes this chicken perfectly ready for the grill, or the oven.
Perfect any night and it freezes and reheats in the oven perfectly. Simply thaw and cook for 10-13 minutes on 350. Awesome. You are going to love it!

- Place chicken breast in a resealable 1 gallon plastic zip top bag. Add milk mixture, seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to overnight.
- Preheat grill to medium. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Combine Panko, Italian bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large flat bowl. Whisk to combine. One at a time, place chicken breast into bread crumb seasoning, flip to coat completely and press bread crumbs into chicken if necessary. Repeat until you have a nice thick coating on each breast. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
- Spray each breast liberally with olive oil on each side.
- Grill chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, with the grill closed, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Spread mayo on bottom half of bun. Add lettuce. Place chicken on top and add onion and pickle.
- Serve and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI didn't comment there because I don't want to sign up for an account but this looks fantastic! Congrats on the gig too!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I'm happy that it can be done in the oven and not grilled as we live in an apartment. So no grill. I bought some chicken today so I think I'll be making this in the next few days. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks SO GOOD!!!!

I'm confused... Does the chicken go directly on the grill, or on a baking sheet on the grill?
