INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup pickle juice (optional)
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, divided
- 1 ½ Tbsp. Knorr® Granulated Chicken Bouillon, divided
- 8 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about ¼-in. thick and 4 oz. each) (See Note)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 4 slices crisp-cooked low sodium bacon
- vegetable oil for frying
- 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 3 Tbsp. Hellmann’s Real Mayo
DIRECTIONS
- Whisk together buttermilk, pickle juice, ½ Tbsp Cajun seasoning, and 1 Tbsp of Knorr® Granulated Chicken Bouillon in large bowl until well blended. Fully submerge chicken in mixture. Set aside.
- In separate shallow bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and remaining ½ Tbsp. each Bouillon and Cajun seasoning until blended. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and gently mix with a fork to create a few clumps that will help form a thick crust.
- Pour vegetable oil into large skillet until about ½-inch deep. Heat over medium-high heat until 350°. Dredge one piece of chicken at a time into flour mixture gently pressing, including any clumps, to help form a thick crust.
- Add chicken to hot oil and fry 3 minutes per side or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
- To build each sandwich, start with a base of 1 piece cooked chicken, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 slice cooked bacon broken in half, and about 2 tsp. Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise . Top with another piece cooked chicken.
Note:
If you can’t find small chicken breasts, simply slice thicker chicken breasts into 1/4-in. thick portions (about 4 oz. each).
