Notes

For a lighter option, grill the chicken instead of frying. Feel free to use whole wheat breadcrumbs for a healthier version. You can store leftover components separately in airtight containers; the chicken lasts 3–4 days in the fridge. Customize your sandwich with toppings like caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, or pesto for added flavor. This recipe is versatile; for a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns or wrap the chicken in lettuce.
