Crispy Cilantro Lime Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

Sandwich
• 2 Turano French Rolls
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 cups crushed corn flakes
• Olive oil or avocado oil spray

Cilantro Lime Sauce
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cucumber Slaw
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp honey
• ⅓ cup pickle juice
• 1 tsp lime zest
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste


Directions

① Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
② Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat completely with the crushed corn flakes.
③ Spray lightly with oil and air fry for 14-16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
④ While the chicken cooks, prepare the cilantro lime sauce. Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the lime juice, honey, cumin, garlic, and water. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper.
⑤ In a bowl, combine the cucumber, cabbage, jalapeño, honey pickle juice, lime zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
⑥ Lightly toast the Turano French Rolls if desired.
⑦ Spread a generous amount of the cilantro lime sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Add the crispy chicken, then top with the cucumber slaw. Finish with the top half of the French Roll and serve immediately.
