If you need a great chicken sandwich recipe in your hip pocket, this is the chicken sandwich recipe for you. Ever so slightly spicy chicken breasts that I've thinly cut, seared to perfection, paired with a sweet maple mayonnaise, smoky bacon, crunchy, cool lettuce and all on a brioche bun that's been toasted with a little bit of butter. The ultimate sweet heat chicken sandwich that pleases everyone. If I have your attention (or you're drooling right now), please read on.
This chicken sandwich is super easy to make. I slice my chicken breast in half widthwise to make them into thinner cutlets, thereby reducing the cooking time. I use a great spice blend that gives them amazing flavor, which is slightly spicy, slightly sweet and 100% delicious.
These chicken breasts will cook up in about five minutes, so that's all the time it takes to make the maple mayonnaise and toast the buns. Really so simple, you're not going to believe that so little effort yields an amazingly tasty chicken sammie.
This is super kid friendly too, as you can reduce any of the heat to make the chicken milder. Kids will love the maple mayo. Heck, adults love the maple mayo.
Maple Bacon Chicken Sandwiches Serves 4 4 brioche buns, split in half 2 tablespoons butter, softened 2 chicken breasts, cut in half widthwise (butterflied) leaving you with 4 thinner chicken cutlets. 3 tablespoons sweet & spicy seasoning blend such as Honey Killer Bee or my *Taylor Rub (below) 1 tablespoon oil, like grapeseed, avocado or olive oil 4 slices bacon, crisped up or purchased pre-cooked, cut in half through the center, I like uncured bacon 8 pieces crisp lettuce such as romain, baby gem or iceberg Maple Mayonnaise 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I like avocado oil or coconut oil mayonnaise) 2 tablespoons real maple syrup 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika In a small bowl, combine the maple mayonnaise ingredients. Season chicken cutlets liberally on both sides with seasoning blend and set aside I like to use aniron skillet for the sear it allows, but any skillet will do. Butter the cut sides of the brioche buns. Place cut side down in a warm skillet and toast gently. They'll burn quickly so keep your eyes on them. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, turn up the heat to medium high, drizzle in the oil and place the seasoned chicken cutlets in the hot oil. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through. To assemble the sandwiches, smear the cut sides of the brioche buns with the maple mayonnaise, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun then top with a chicken cutlet, 1 slice of bacon, then another leaf of lettuce. Drizzle with a bit more maple mayo if desired, add the top bun and serve. Great with sweet potato fries or myPerfect Roasted Potatoes. *Taylor Rub 2 Tablespoonschili powder 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar 1 Tablespoon cumin 1 Tablespoon dehydrated onion flakes (or 1/2 teaspoon powdered onion or garlic) 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or you can use regular paprika cayenne pepper if you like it hot ( I like to use Aleppo chili flakes)
