Baked Breaded Chicken Sandwich
This easy chicken recipe will need a permanent place in your recipe card file.
Chad and I love chicken sandwiches. Truth be told, I could probably eat a good breaded chicken breast every night and be completely happy about it.
I love the crispy coating and the tender chicken inside. This recipe was created to pacify my need to have the perfect chicken sandwich, and my desire not to have to get one at a restaurant.
Chicken Marinade
This recipe starts with an incredible buttermilk marinade for the chicken. After marinating for 30 minutes, the chicken has a nice coating.
Leaving it overnight creates 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.
How to make a Baked Breaded Chicken Sandwich
To bake the breaded chicken breast instead of grilling it:
- Set oven to broil.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the cooked chicken breast from the oven and assemble your sandwich with the toppings of your choice!

oh I am so baking and grilling this baby! Baking during the week and making hubby grill it on the weekend! Great sandwich
I didn't comment there because I don't want to sign up for an account but this looks fantastic! Congrats on the gig too!
This 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. 🙂
Looks SO GOOD!!!!
Nice Post!
Wow this looks so good. Love a good sandwich. Thanks for sharing.

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