Why This Recipe Works
- This is a recipe that you can customize to your own tastes.
- It is a recipe that will cost less to make at home than to get takeout.
Recipe Ingredients
- Chicken breasts- For the chicken, I used my pan-fried chicken breast recipe. Which you can pan fry or grill if you like.
- Potato bread- For the bread, I always like to use potato burger buns, but you can use the bread you prefer. I also love using a brioche bun because the sweetness goes great with the saltiness of the chicken.
- Mayonnaise- I go between the mayonnaise and the Puerto Rican mayo ketchup sauce. Any creamy sauce with a soft flavor will go well with this chicken sandwich.
- Vegetables- I used the vegetables that I really think a chicken sandwich should have. I used romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onion. But here, there’s basically no way to go wrong. Add whatever you like.
How to Make A Classic Chicken Sandwich
- Photo 1: Rinse all the vegetables you’re going to use. First, cut the ends of the lettuce and then cut it in half. Peel and cut the onion into about ¼ inch thick slices. Cut the tomato the same way. Of course, this is just a preference, so you can cut your toppings to the thickness you like.
- Photo 2: Cut and season the chicken. In a large pan, add the breasts to cook for 5 minutes per side. Then toast your bread, add mayonnaise, and assemble the chicken breast sandwiches.
Recipe Tips
- Toppings. Popular toppings to add are bacon and different types of cheeses. My favorites are provolone, pepper jack, and swiss cheese.
- This is a great recipe to make on pita bread!
