Preparation Steps
1
Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
2
Prepare three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs.
3
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumbs, ensuring full coverage.
4
Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a large skillet to 340°F (170°C). Fry the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
5
Meanwhile, halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or lightly buttered until golden brown on the cut sides.
6
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
7
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture on the cut sides of the toasted buns.
8
Assemble the burger: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then top with the crispy fried chicken, a slice of cheddar cheese, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Cover with the top bun.
9
Serve immediately, preferably with sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. Tip: For an extra crispy coating, mix a little grated Parmesan cheese into the breadcrumbs!
