Ingredients

• 2 pieces (boneless, skinless, each about 6 oz) Chicken breast
• 1 cup Low sodium buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Whole grain hamburger buns
• 2 Lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced Tomato
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This will ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the low sodium buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to marinate. This step adds flavor and tenderness to the chicken.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and flour.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat each breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken gently to adhere.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.

Step 7

Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the whole grain hamburger buns.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a tablespoon of low sodium mayonnaise on each bun half. Place a cooked chicken breast on the bottom bun, top with lettuce, tomato slices, and the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium crispy breaded chicken sandwich!
