Chicken and Breading

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by flattening the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, place the flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in the last.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure that each piece is evenly coated.

Frying the Chicken

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Ciabatta Buns

    While the chicken is frying, slice the ciabatta buns in half and toast them lightly on a skillet or in the oven.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each ciabatta bun, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo. Layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, cooked bacon, fried chicken, havarti cheese, and sliced avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.
