Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    If using grilled chicken, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. For crispy fried chicken, dip the chicken breasts in flour, then beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    For grilled chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. For crispy fried chicken, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then fry each chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, wash and prepare the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato. Also, prepare the pickles.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked chicken on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Add any optional toppings you desire.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately with your favorite side.
