Panko Crusted Chicken Sandwich With Four Chile Aioli Recipes

PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH FOUR CHILE AIOLI

Steps:

• AOLI: Using a food processor, combine the jalapeno, serrano, Thai chile and red pepper flakes and blend until minced.
• Add the lemon juice and the egg yolk to the mixture.
• While the processor is running, slowly pour in the oil.
• Continue until a mayonnaise-like consistency is achieved.
• Season with the sugar, salt, and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to use.
• CHICKEN: In a large mixing bowl, combine the panko, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Dip each breast into the flour, then the eggs, and then the panko mixture.
• Fill a fryer or medium heavy pot 1/3 full with the oil, heat over high heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the coated breasts and allow them to cook through, about 8 to 10 minutes.

CHICKEN AIOLI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, garlic, green onions, chile flakes, and peanut oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Cut the chicken crosswise into very thin slices.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the rolls horizontally and place on a baking sheet with the top half cut-side down and the bottom half with cut-side up. Place 1 slice of provolone on the bottom half of each roll. Cook until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
• Place 1/4 of the chicken on top of the melted cheese. Top with romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onions. Spread some of the Aioli on the top half of the roll and place the roll on top of the sandwich.
• In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic, basil, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard and process to combine. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until it is all added and the mixture is emulsified. Add the lemon juice and check the seasoning.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

AIOLI CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Roast the red pepper: Slice it in half and seed it, then place down on a foil lined baking sheet with the outside of the pepper up. Put under a broiler at 500 degrees for 8 minutes or until black charred and blistery.
• Remove pepper from oven and wrap the foil that lined the baking sheet all around the pepper so that no steam can escape. Let it steam for about 10 minutes (out of the oven), this will help soften it and allow for easier peeling. After 10 minutes remove foil and peel the charred skin off the pepper and slice into strips.
• While the pepper is broiling, heat oil in a saute pan, and once heated, add the butter. Then dash some garlic powder in the pan and stir.
• Pound chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch of thickness and rub with salt and pepper.
• Add chicken to saute pan once butter is melted. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• After pepper comes out of broiler, leave it on and place bread slices on a baking sheet. Broil until just crispy and a nice light brown color emerges. Then flip the bread, place the manchego cheese on half the slices, and put back under the broiler so the cheese melts and the other side of the bread gets toasty. Each side should only be a minute or two.
• Make the garlic aioli by whisking all of the ingredients for it in a small bowl.
• Spread garlic aioli on the non cheesed bread slices.
• When chicken is cooked through, slice and place on the bread with the cheese. Top with slices of roasted red pepper and cover with other bread slice.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.
