Since my family have been trying (take note of my choice of words :D) to eat healthier, two of the proteins you’d usually see in our refrigerator are chicken meat and eggs. And I love making all kinds of dishes with them. So, when I was craving for McDonald’s McChicken sandwich, instead of spending almost Php 200 to have one delivered, I decided to make my own Chicken Fillet sandwich.
I’m on a low-carb diet, so I usually just enjoy a sandwich for lunch or dinner. My mother also loves sandwiches so we always come up with our own different sandwich spreads. And this one, I’ll keep on making. I know, there’s flour and all. But, c’mon. I’m on a LOW carb diet, not giving it up completely. Give me a break! Hahaha 😀
Though this recipe is so easy, I still want to share it here for those who haven’t tried making chicken fillet or nuggets yet.
Chicken Fillet Sandwich and Chicken Nuggets
with Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 3-4 chicken breasts, deboned and cut into cubes
You will need a food processor or blender for this recipe. If you don’t have it, then, just skip the blending/grinding part of the procedure and just cut the chicken breasts into nugget-sized or sandwich fillet-sized pieces. But, you can also opt to chop them into really tiny pieces, if you’ve got the strength and time to do so. 🙂 - 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 to 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs (click here to find out how to make your own bread crumbs, see step #1)
- 1 cup flour
- salt and pepper
- Optional: You can add your own spices or herbs for your chicken breasts. For mine, I added rosemary. But, you can add parsley and/or basil.
- Optional: 1-2 medium-sized eggs
Half of the batch I made, I didn’t dip in the beaten eggs. But, if you prefer to include eggs, you can go ahead with this. - 1 cup vegetable oil for semi-deep frying
- Lettuce for the sandwiches
Sandwich dressing: This is the mix that I used for our chicken sandwich.
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 tbsp. lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Honey Mustard sauce: I don’t have any ingredients available to make barbecue sauce so I decided to make honey mustard instead. But, you can find ready-to-use barbecue sauce at the grocery.
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp. honey
