Instructions

1. 1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

2. 2. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with the lemon pepper seasoning and salt.

3. 3. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally coat them in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

4. 4. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. 5. Drain the chicken on a paper towel-lined plate.

6. 6. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a fried chicken breast on each toasted bun, then top with a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. The chicken can also be baked in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
