Instructions
- Lightly flatten the chicken fillets between two sheets of cling film with a rolling pin so they are an even thickness.
- Season them with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
- Dip each fillet first in the flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan to 170 °C and fry the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until nicely golden.
- Drain them on kitchen paper and check they are cooked through, at 74 °C on a thermometer.
- Cut the rolls in half and spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the base.
- Lay a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, some onion and the still-warm chicken fillet on top.
- Close the sandwich and serve straight away, with chips if you like.
Variations and tips
Spicy version. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour for a spicier version, in the style of Irish chippies.
