You'll need
skillet · bowl
Method
Halve chicken breasts horizontally so they are an even thickness.
5 min · prep
Mix flour with paprika, garlic powder and salt in one bowl, egg in another.
4 min · prep
Coat chicken flour, then egg, then panko — pressing hard so it grips.
6 min · prep
Fry in a shallow layer of oil, 4 minutes per side, until deep gold.
9 min · fry
Drain on a rack, not paper, so the underside stays crisp.
2 min · rest
Shred cabbage, dress with mayonnaise and salt.
4 min · prep
Toast the buns cut-side down in the pan, then build with slaw and tomato.
4 min · fry
Serving suggestion
Hot sauce stirred into the mayonnaise takes this somewhere better.
