Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 slices of bread
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Bread crumbs (for coating)
- Olive oil or butter for frying
Instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with a little salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook the chicken in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. When finished, use two forks to shred the chicken and set it aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil and sauté the sliced onion, bell pepper, and grated carrot for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Make the Sandwich Spread:
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and mustard. Adjust the ratio to your taste if you prefer more mustard or mayo.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out the bread slices and spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on one side of each slice.
- On three of the bread slices, place a generous amount of shredded chicken and the sautéed vegetables on top.
- Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread to complete them.
5. Coat the Sandwiches:
- Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
- Dip each assembled sandwich into the beaten egg, making sure to coat both sides.
- Next, dredge the sandwich in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick to the bread.
6. Fry the Sandwiches:
- Warm a small amount of olive oil or butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Place the breaded sandwiches in the skillet and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve:
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly before slicing them in half.
- Serve the warm, crispy Chicken Veggie Sandwiches with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of salad.
Conclusion:
This flavorful Chicken Veggie Sandwich is crispy on the outside and packed with tender chicken and sautéed veggies on the inside. The combination of mayonnaise, mustard, and spices adds a burst of flavor, while the breadcrumb coating gives it a satisfying crunch. Perfect for a quick meal or snack, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone. Enjoy!
