Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (plus more for coating)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 brioche buns
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about half an inch.
- Set up a dredging station: one bowl with seasoned flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko mixed with Cajun seasoning.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip in the egg wash, then coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a wire rack.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the aioli.
- Toast brioche buns lightly and spread aioli on both sides before adding the crispy chicken.
