Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!

So, last night was one of those nights where the heart was willing but the body was weak.  You see, I make this delicious chicken sandwich, but a part of this deliciousness is the fresh bread that I make for the sandwich.  That was not happening at 8 pm.  But I decided to make the sandwich anyway only this time I wanted to use the whole wheat sandwich rounds I had.  Man this sandwich gets me every time!  I LOVE it lol. Ok, so this is how I make it:


First I cleaned one chicken breast and washed it in lime juice.  Then I pounded it out to about twice its size.  This makes the meat tender and it lessens the cooking time to allow for juicer meat.  After that I marinated it in a buttermilk and Tabasco mixture for about 10 minutes.  Sometimes I'll do it for about 30 minutes or so. It further tenderizes the meat and the end result is oh sooooo good!

After the marination sensation process is done I shake off any excess buttermilk and coat the breast in some flour I seasoned with salt.  I dipped the floured chicken in egg and then added a final coating of plain Panko bread crumbs.  Immediately after that I put it in a sauce pan with a little olive oil on medium heat and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes each side.  From there I let the magic happen!

I know I'm not the only one who dances when I get to eat.  I damn near Dougied when I ate this sandwich.  Y'all I almost ate my fingers and the plate along with that sandwich.  Picture it, Nassau, 2011... So, I like my sandwiches dripping, messy, juicy.  This sandwich was no different.  As I bit down the crunch of the Panko gave way to moist, tender and tangy chicken meat.  The juices from the sandwich dripped down my hand and on to the plate.  Not one to waste I sopped it up with the sandwich still in my hand.  Each bite was a crunchy and tender bite of heaven!  Sweet 6lb, 8oz Baby Jesus lying in a manger it was good!  I wasn't able to take a pic of it because well, I ate it.  But I will post a pic of the one made with the homemade bread.  THAT one was even gooderer.  Oh yeah babes, sandwiches this good need made up words to describe them.


Well, now I'm hungry again (as usual).  So I think pizza is in order for lunch.  I'm thinking veggie.  Yeah, that'll do!


TTYL Honey Hams!  Until we eat again!
