Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Burger buns (toasted) and assorted toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles)

Instructions

Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and pound to about half an inch thick.
Set up a coating station: In one bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, then coat with egg wash, and finally press into the panko breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each coated piece for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Mix mayonnaise and lemon juice for the sauce.
Assemble burgers on toasted buns topped with sauce and your choice of lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
