Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
Bread and Spreads
- 2 English muffins or brioche buns, toasted
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
Optional Garnishes
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over both sides of the pounded chicken breasts to ensure the meat is well-flavored.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them according to your preference—fried, over-easy, or scrambled—taking care not to overcook them for the best texture.
- Toast the Buns: While the eggs cook, toast the English muffins or brioche buns until golden and slightly crisp.
- Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until fully combined to create a tangy spread for the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the mayo mixture evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Then layer on the cooked chicken breast, a slice of cheddar cheese, the cooked egg, and any optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or a splash of hot sauce.
- Finish and Serve: Place the top halves of the buns over the layered ingredients, press down lightly, and serve the sandwiches warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken patties or grilled chicken strips to save time.
- Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
- Include a crispy hash brown patty for added texture and flavor.
