FRIED CHICKEN BLT MELT

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 leftover poached boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
4 slices bacon
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 soft sandwich buns, split
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons hot sauce
4 deli slices Cheddar
2 pieces iceberg lettuce
2 slices beefsteak tomato

Steps:

  • For the honey mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard, honey and mayonnaise in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the fried chicken BLT melt: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Remove the poached chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
  • Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Add 1 1/2 inches of oil to a high-sided cast-iron skillet (making sure you are below halfway) and heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F. While waiting for the oil to heat, toast the buns in the still-warm oven.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper in a baking dish. In a separate baking dish, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Dredge the chicken through the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then through the flour. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Cover the chicken pieces immediately with the cheese slices so they can begin to melt.
  • Spread the cut sides of the buns with the honey mustard sauce. Add 2 pieces of fried chicken to each bottom bun, and top with 2 pieces of bacon, a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato and more sauce if desired. Sandwich the buns together and enjoy.

CHICKEN CAESAR BLT SANDWICH



Chicken Caesar BLT Sandwich image

Yummy variation on a basic BLT or club sandwich. Just as nice on untoasted bread if it's nice and fresh. I prefer poached chicken as it stays beautifully moist & tender but you can also use grilled chicken, or leftover BBQ or roast chicken. I usually poach the chicken ahead of time when I'm making breakfast - boil water in the kettle, put it in a saucepan with the chicken and a little chicken stock powder, cover and let it sit in the hot water until lunchtime - it's perfectly cooked, but in no danger of being over-cooked and rubbery. I do hard-boiled eggs the same way (often at the same time in the same pan).

Tips for Making the Perfect Chicken BLT Sandwich

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for ripe tomatoes, crispy lettuce, thick-cut bacon, and juicy chicken.
  • Cook the Chicken Properly: Whether you're grilling, pan-frying, or baking the chicken, make sure it's cooked thoroughly but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough.
  • Season the Chicken Generously: Be generous with your seasonings when cooking the chicken. Garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are classic choices, but you can also add your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Toast the Bread: Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch and helps it hold up better against the sandwich fillings. You can toast the bread in a toaster, oven, or on a griddle.
  • Spread Mayonnaise Liberally: Mayonnaise adds a rich creaminess to the sandwich and helps hold the ingredients together. Don't be shy about spreading it on both slices of bread.
  • Layer the Ingredients Carefully: When assembling the sandwich, layer the ingredients carefully so that they're evenly distributed. This will ensure that every bite is packed with flavor.

Conclusion

The Chicken BLT sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's simple, delicious, and satisfying. With these tips, you can make the perfect Chicken BLT sandwich that will be a hit with everyone.
