Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create cutlets. Pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine panko bread crumbs and lemon zest.

  3. 3

    Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the seasoned flour, then in the whisked eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the lemon zest panko mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

    5 min

  5. 5

    While the chicken is frying, slice the tomatoes and toast the burger buns.

  6. 6

    Assemble the sandwiches: spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, top with a crispy chicken cutlet, slices of tomato, and fresh basil leaves. Place the top bun on.
