Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1/3 cup /80g flour ((any white))
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¾ tsp paprika
1 tsp thyme
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions (, halved them sliced (white, brown or yellow))
400 - 500g / 14 oz - 1 lb chicken breast (2 pieces) (, cut in half horizontally into 2 thin steaks)
4 - 8 slices Swiss or other melting cheese slices ((Note 1))
4 soft rolls ((I used brioche burger buns))
1 avocado
Lettuce
2 large tomatoes
½ cup mayonnaise ((I use whole egg))
1 large garlic clove (, minced)
French fries
Baked potato wedges

Steps:

Mix Garlic Mayo ingredients in a small bowl, set aside for 20+ minutes.
Mix Seasoning in a flat bowl / dish.
If required, pound chicken to about 1 cm / 2/5" thick. If wanting to be exact, trim to shape of rolls BUT ensure it is about 15% larger (it shrinks) (Note 2).
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat (if doing on BBQ, drizzle flat plate).
Add onion and cook, turning regularly, for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then remove.
While cooking the onions, preheat oven to 160C/320F. Split rolls, then lightly toast / warm the rolls (if using BBQ, just toast the cut side until crispy). Leave in turned off oven with door ajar while you cook chicken.
Heat 1 tbsp oil into the same skillet, still on high heat.
Dredge chicken in Seasoning, shake off excess, then place in skillet. Repeat.
Cook for 2 ½ minutes until golden, then flip.
Top with cheese then leave for 1 1/2 minutes. When the underside is golden, if the cheese is not yet melted, place lid on for 15 seconds (or tray or foil).
Remove chicken from skillet onto plate. Cover loosely with foil while you start assembling the burgers.

Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 ½ cups plain greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
softened butter, for buns
8 brioche burger buns
1 head butter lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

Make the buttermilk marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Toss in the chicken thighs in the marinade to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight.
Make the dill dressing: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Cover and let sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator to chill.
Make the seasoned flour: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Dip the marinated chicken in the flour mixture until the chicken is completely covered.
Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C). Do not fill more than halfway with oil. Carefully fry the chicken for 7 minutes, or until cooked through.
The internal temperature should reach 165˚F (75˚C), and the chicken should be golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Butter the cut sides of the burger buns, then toast on the hot skillet until browned and crisp. Build the sandwiches with the toasted buns, lettuce, fried chicken, tomato slices, and dill dressing.
Enjoy!

Tips:

For extra crispy chicken, double-coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture and egg wash.
To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it and making sure the juices run clear.
For a healthier version of this burger, bake the chicken breasts instead of frying them.
To add more flavor to the chicken, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
You can use any type of bun you like for this burger, but a brioche bun or a potato bun are both good choices.
Be generous with the toppings! This burger is all about the flavor, so don't be afraid to pile on the cheese, bacon, and your favorite condiments.

Conclusion:

The Fried Chicken Breast Burger is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its crispy chicken, melted cheese, and flavorful toppings, this burger is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try.
