Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 3 burger buns
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Triple Layer Crispy Chicken Sandwich

1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch. This helps them cook evenly and stay juicy.
2. Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, add the flour. In a second dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Bread the chicken: Dip each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Fry the chicken: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Assemble the sandwich: Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Add one layer of crispy chicken, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese. Repeat this process until you have three layers of chicken and cheese, finishing with the top bun.
6. Serve: Cut the sandwich in half for easier handling, and enjoy while the cheese is still melty!

For the crispiest coating, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken. You can test this by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready. Additionally, feel free to adjust the spices in the breadcrumb mixture to suit your taste.

Easy Variations

• Add lettuce, tomato, or pickles for extra freshness and crunch.
• Use different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Swap mayonnaise for a spicy aioli or ranch dressing.
• Try a honey mustard glaze for a sweet and tangy twist.

What to Serve With It

• French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• Pickle spears on the side
• Potato salad for a hearty side

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store the chicken separately from the buns and toppings to keep everything fresh. Place the chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Toast the buns in the oven for a few minutes for added crispiness.
