Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Breading:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For Assembly:
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Pickles, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine buttermilk, fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, panko breadcrumbs, dried dill, salt, and pepper.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the buns by spreading mayonnaise on each side.
- Once the chicken is done, assemble the sandwiches by placing the crispy chicken on the buns, topping with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This sandwich can be made ahead by preparing the chicken and breading, then storing them separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour and panko with gluten-free alternatives.
