Preparation of Chicken

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breast and ensure it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour. Take the marinated chicken breast out of the refrigerator and let it drain briefly. Dredge the chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated.
Cooking

Fry the Chicken
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C). Carefully place the breaded chicken breast in the oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Sandwich
To assemble, cut the brioche bun in half. Spread 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayo on the bottom half. Place the fried chicken breast on top, followed by the romaine lettuce leaf and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
