Method

1. Slice the chicken breast into cutlets and marinate them — preferably overnight.
2. Prepare the cheese slices: mix the flour with the spices in one bowl, whisk the egg with the milk in a second bowl, and place the crushed crackers in a third bowl. Begin by dipping the cheese slices in the flour, then the egg, and finally the crackers, repeating the process a second time for the same cheese slice.
3. Keep the cheese slices in the freezer/refrigerator until ready to use — it is necessary to freeze them so they firm up. Place each slice alone between two pieces of plastic wrap.
4. Prepare the sauce: mix all its ingredients well together and keep it in the refrigerator until use.
5. Now prepare the burgers: fry the marinated chicken slices in a little oil over medium heat.
6. In a pot, fry the frozen cheese slices in plenty of hot oil until they become golden, then remove them immediately.
7. Toast the burger buns slightly in the oven or on a pan on the inside after splitting them.
8. Spread a little sauce inside the bun on both sides, then place the chicken pieces, then a little shredded lettuce, then a fried cheese slice, then some more lettuce and sauce.
