Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich Recipe 

 

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • 1 cup pimento cheese spread
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Lettuce leaves and tomato slices for garnish (optional)

 

 

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

The chicken breasts should first be seasoned with salt and pepper.

Assemble three shallow bowls for breading: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.

Each chicken breast should be floured and any excess should be shaken off.

 

Make sure the chicken breasts are evenly covered by dipping them into the beaten eggs after flouring them.

Lastly, lightly press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken breasts to ensure they stick.

Fry the Chicken:

In a big skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

The breaded chicken breasts should be gently added to the skillet after the oil is hot.

 

Cook the chicken until it is cooked through and golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side.

After cooking, move the chicken to a plate covered with paper towels to remove any leftover oil.

Prepare the Honey Pepper Glaze:

Melt the honey and crushed red pepper flakes together in a small pot.

Stirring continuously, reheat the mixture over low heat until the pepper flakes are equally distributed and the honey is warmed completely. Take off the heat.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

If preferred, cut the sandwich buns in half and toast them lightly.

Take care to cover the bottom half of each bun with a sufficient amount of pimento cheese.

 

Top the layer of pimento cheese with a fried chicken breast.

Over the chicken, drizzle the honey-pepper glaze.

 

Add slices of tomato and lettuce, if using, on top.

Lastly, place the upper halves of the buns over the sandwiches.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwiches right away with your preferred sides, like potato chips, coleslaw, or fries.

Savour the fusion of flavor’s in every bite, from the sweet and spicily honey pepper glaze to the crispy chicken and oozy cheese.

FAQs

 

Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?

While boneless, skinless chicken breasts are recommended for ease of preparation and eating, you can certainly use bone-in chicken if preferred. Just ensure that the chicken is cooked through until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

 

 

Can I bake the chicken instead of frying it?

Yes, you can bake the chicken instead of frying for a healthier option. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

 

 

I don’t have pimento cheese. Can I use another type of cheese?

While pimento cheese adds a unique flavor to the sandwich, you can substitute it with other types of cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack.
