Method

For the Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture. Press the flour onto the chicken for a good crust.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

For the Colman’s Mustard Cream Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in Colman’s mustard powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Broth

    Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.

  3. 7

    Season the Sauce

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

For Assembly

  1. 8

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast them, if desired.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Gubbins Chicken

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato. Top with a fried chicken breast and generously drizzle the Colman’s mustard cream sauce over the chicken. Cap with the top half of the bun.
