Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Sandwich Assembly

  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 8 slices of dill pickle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thin pieces, resulting in four pieces total. Gently pound each piece with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
  2. Make the flour mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill. This seasoned flour mix will create the aromatic base coating.
  3. Whisk eggs and milk: In another bowl, beat together the eggs and milk thoroughly to form the wet dip.
  4. Prepare breadcrumbs: Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a separate shallow dish, ready for coating the chicken.
  5. Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken piece first in the seasoned flour, ensuring full coverage; then dip into the egg and milk mixture; finally, coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
  6. Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. Make dill mayo sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, freshly chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a bright, herbaceous sauce to complement the fried chicken.
  8. Toast buns: Lightly toast the brioche buns until just golden for added texture and flavor.
  9. Assemble sandwiches: Spread the dill mayo generously on both sides of each bun. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, place the crispy chicken on top, then finish with dill pickle slices. Close and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a slice of your favorite cheese before topping the sandwich.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to make a lighter, tangier sauce.
  • Add some hot sauce to the dill mayo for a spicy variation of the sandwich.
  • This sandwich pairs well with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp coleslaw.
