Crispy Chicken

Method

Crispy Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

Cherry Compote

  1. 3

    Cook the Compote

    In a small saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the cherries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Basil Aioli

  1. 4

    Make the Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped basil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast brioche buns lightly. On the bottom half, spread a layer of basil aioli, place the crispy chicken, top with cherry compote, crumbled goat cheese, arugula, and sliced onion. Finish with the top half of the bun.
