About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- flour
- egg
- corn flakes
- 1 ciabatta bread
- cucumber
- cabbage
- jalapeño
- pickle juice
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- lime zest
Cilantro Lime Sauce
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cumin
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup cilantro
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- 2Place flour in a shallow dish, beat an egg in a second dish, and spread corn flakes in a third dish.
- 3Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally press it into the corn flakes to coat evenly.
- 4Preheat the air fryer to 385°F (385°F). Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer and air‑fry for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F) and the coating is golden and crisp.
- 5While the chicken cooks, prepare the cilantro‑lime sauce: heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- 6Add ½ cup lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp cumin, salt, pepper, and the 3 chopped garlic cloves; stir and cook for 1 minute.
- 7Pour in ½ cup water, bring to a gentle simmer, and reduce until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
- 8Stir in ½ cup chopped cilantro, remove from heat, and set the sauce aside.
- 9Slice the ciabatta loaf horizontally and lightly toast the cut sides if desired.
- 10Assemble the sandwich: place the cooked chicken on the bottom half of the ciabatta, drizzle generously with the cilantro‑lime sauce.
- 11Top the chicken with a mixture of sliced cucumber, sliced cabbage, and sliced jalapeño, then season the salad with a drizzle of honey, a splash of pickle juice, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of lime zest.
- 12Close the sandwich with the top half of the ciabatta, press gently, and serve immediately while the chicken is still hot and crispy.
