Deluxe Chicken Sandwich
A recipe from Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition
This recipe takes the perfect Chicken Sandwich and elevates it with melted cheese.
Ingredients:
- 50 each Bread, buns, hamburger, WG, frozen
- 50 each Chicken, whole muscle breast, breaded, precooked, ready to eat, frozen
- As needed Pan spray, butter flavored
- 3 tbsp House Spice Blend
- 50 slice Sliced American Cheese
Steps:
DAY PRIOR TO SERVICE:
- Pull buns from the freezer to dry storage.
DAY OF SERVICE:
- Place buns, bagged, in warmer to heat.
- Spray perforated sheet pans with pan spray and place frozen breaded chicken filets in a single layer.
- Cook chicken at 350°F for 14-16 minutes.
- Sprinkle breaded chicken with the House Spice Blend seasoning.
- Assemble crispy chicken sandwiches by placing one chicken filet in each bun.
- Place 1 slice of cheese on top of the chicken patty, then cover with top bun.
- Spray the tops of the buns with pan spray. This creates a nice shine.
- Hot hold chicken sandwiches until served.
The perforations allow for greater air flow which results in crisper crusts on the breaded chicken.
Cook to 135°F or higher. A minimum internal temperature of 135°F is required for commercially processed, ready-to-eat-food that will be hot-held for service.
No bare hand contact with ready to eat food.
Hold at 135°F or above.
Breaded chicken should be batch cooked every 30-35 minutes throughout service to maintain flavor, juiciness, and texture.
