If you love crispy chicken
sandwiches -- and especially if you don't live in the
West -- you'll want to try out this clone of the tasty
Carl's Jr. creation. The recipe makes four of the
addicting chicken sandwiches from the California-based
chain, but will also come in handy for making a delicious
homemade ranch dressing. Try using some lean turkey
bacon, fat-free Swiss cheese and fat-free mayonnaise if
you feel like cutting back on the fat. Then you can eat
two.
Ranch Dressing
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon parsley
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
dash dill weed
dash garlic
dash ground black pepper
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
6-8 cups vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 chicken breast fillets
4 sesame seed hamburger buns
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
Kraft Swiss cheese Singles
8 slices bacon, cooked
1. Preheat 6-8 cups of oil in a
deep fryer to 350 degrees.
2. To prepare the ranch dressing, combine all of the
ingredients except the water and gelatin in small bowl.
Mix the water with the gelatin in a small cup until all
of the gelatin is dissolved. Add this gelatin solution to
the other ingredients and stir. Cover and chill the
dressing until it's needed.
3. Beat the egg and then combine with 1 cup water in a
small, shallow bowl. Stir.
4. Combine the flour, salt, onion powder and garlic
powder in another shallow bowl.
5. Pound each of the breast fillets with a mallet until
about 1/4-inch thick. Trim each breast fillet until it is
round.
6. Working with one fillet at a time, first coat each
fillet with the flour, then dredge it in the egg &
water mixture. Coat the chicken once again in the flour
and set it aside until all of the fillets have been
breaded.
7. Fry the chicken fillets for 8-12 minutes or until
light brown and crispy.
8. As chicken is frying, prepare each sandwich by
grilling the face of the hamburger buns on a hot skillet
over medium heat. Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the
ranch dressing on the face of the top and bottom buns.
9. On the bottom bun, stack a leaf of lettuce and a
tomato slice.
10. When the chicken is done frying, remove the fillets
from the fryers and drain them on paper towels or a rack
for a couple of minutes.
11. Stack one fillet onto the bottom of the sandwich
(onto the tomato), then stack a slice of the Swiss cheese
onto the chicken.
12. Arrange the bacon, crosswise, on top of the Swiss
cheese, then top off the sandwich with the top bun.
Repeat the stacking process for each of the remaining
sandwiches. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
