Ingredients

  • 2 medium chicken breast
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 whole burger buns
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 2 cups frozen waffle fries

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 2 cups frozen waffle fries in the oven or air fryer according to package directions, about 15-20 minutes, until golden and crisp.

  2. 2

    While fries cook, slice the 2 chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Set up a dredging station: place the 0.5 cup flour in one shallow bowl and beat the 1 egg in another. Dip each cutlet in flour, then egg, then back in flour, pressing to coat.

  4. 4

    Heat 0.25 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets in a single batch (do not crowd) for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

  5. 5

    Toast the 2 buns in the skillet for 1 minute. Build sandwiches with the fried chicken, shredded red cabbage, and any sauce you like (mayo, hot sauce, or ranch). Serve with the waffle fries.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
