Ingredients for Pepper Jelly Chicken Sandwich

Method

Instructions for Preparing Pepper Jelly Chicken Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado and Tomato

    Slice the avocado and tomato into even slices. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the buns lightly. Spread 2 tablespoons of pepper jelly on the bottom half of each bun. Place a fried chicken breast on top, followed by lettuce leaves, avocado slices, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm with your choice of sides.
