Instructions
To Grill
- Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside and allow to thicken for 5 minutes. Add garlic, onion, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the milk mixture and whisk until combined.
- Place chicken breast in a resealable 1 gallon plastic zip top bag. Add milk mixture, seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
- Preheat grill to medium. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and 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 marinated 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!
To Bake
- Set oven to broil. Place chicken (on baking sheet) in oven and bake 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from oven when cooked through.
