Grilled Chicken Sandwhiches with Air Fried Onion Rings

 

 

Grilled chicken sandwiches are a favourite for lunch or dinner and onion rings come out of the air fryer tasting better than the deep fried ones in my opinion. This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1tbsp olive oil
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 cos lettuce heart leaves
  • 1 red capsicum, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • mayonnaise
  • 4 slices of cheese 
  • BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten (use just the egg whites for a leaner option)
  • 2tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 red onions, sliced thickly, rounds separated

Method:

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat and cook chicken until browned on both sides and cooked all the way through. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside to rest meat.
  2. Prepare dredging bowls for onion rings. Mix panko crumbs, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl add egg whites, salt and pepper and beat well to combine. (You can use the whole egg if you like and add 1/4 cup of milk).
  3. Dip separated onion rings in egg mixture and coat evenly with breadcrumb mixture. Spray the basket of an air fryer with olive cooking spray oil and cook onion rings on 180 degrees celcius for 10 minutes, shaking air fryer basket and adding salt and pepper half way through cooking. Set onions aside and assemble the sandwiches.
  4. Toast bread to your liking and top with avocado, mayonnaise, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, capsicum, cooked chicken breasts, cheese and BBQ sauce. Serve with a side of onion rings and enjoy!
