Southwest Chicken Sandwich

  • 1/2 chicken breast (butterfly a chicken breast for a thin slice)
  • 3/4 c. flour
  • 1/2 c. corn starch
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 c. buttermilk
  • 1/2 c. neutral oil (e.g. canola, peanut)
  • Tomato
  • Pickles
  • Lime-cilantro crema
  • Ancho/chipotle hot sauce (Cholula chipotle, or the adobo from a can of chipotles)
  • Brioche hamburger-style bun, toasted

 


Coat chicken breast with 1/4 c. flour. Mix remaining flour, corn starch, and baking powder in one bowl, and place buttermilk in another. Heat oil to 350°F (medium-high heat) in a medium frying pan. Dredge chicken in buttermilk and then coat thoroughly with flour mix. Fry on one side until golden-brown, flip, and fry the other side to golden-brown. Drain and then brush with chipotle/adobo sauce.

Serve on toasted brioche bun, with crema, pickles, and tomato.
