How To Make fried chicken breast "burger"

  • 1
    Butterfly cut each chicken breast, or pound it gently but firmly with the side of a saucer as in this photo. You will be making the meat thinner and larger.
  • 2
    Put corn flake crumbs, flour and spices together in bowl. Mixing well.
  • 3
    Beat the eggs and water together in a separate bowl.
  • 4
    Coat the chicken with the corn flake mixture.
  • 5
    Dip coated chicken into the egg mixture.
  • 6
    Coat with the corn flake mixture again. Then put in Skillet with vegetable oil to fry.
  • 7
    Fry the chicken about 7 minutes on each side, until chicken is browned, cooked and juices are clear.
  • 8
    Place two slices of desired bread on a plate. Spread each slice with mayonnaise (or other desired topping).
  • 9
    Put lettuce on one slice of bread and a chicken breast on the other slice of bread.
  • 10
    Put sliced tomato on top of one side.
  • 11
    Put both sides of sandwich together.
  • 12
    Cut sandwich in half on the diagonal (I am so fussy about this!)
  • 13
    Serve! *** If you are having guests, let them help by assembling their own sandwiches with toppings of choice!
