Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and 1⁄3 inch thick). Halve buns. • In a shallow dish, combine panko, garlic powder, salt (we used 1 tsp; 2 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper.
Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. (Save carrots for another use.)
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
Swap in asparagus for carrots. Roast for 10-12 minutes.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ½ inch thick. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Brush chicken all over with sour cream. Working one piece at a time, press chicken into panko mixture until fully coated on both sides.
• Heat a 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of panko mixture sizzles when added to the pan, add coated chicken. Cook until crust is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. (TIP: Fry in batches if necessary; lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.) Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. • AIR FRYER ALTERNATIVE: Coat an air fryer basket with cooking spray; arrange coated chicken side by side in basket. Coat tops of chicken with cooking spray. Air fry at 390 degrees for 6 minutes. Flip chicken and coat again with cooking spray; air fry until cooked through and crispy, 6 minutes more.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey Dijon dressing, and hot sauce to taste (we used the whole packet). Season with salt and pepper. • Toast buns until golden brown.
• Spread top buns with as much honey mustard mayo as you like. Fill buns with chicken. • Divide sandwiches and carrots between plates. Serve with any remaining honey mustard mayo on the side for dipping.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Updated on Mar 2026- Flavor: Many loved the crispy panko crust and tangy-sweet honey mustard mayo, though some found the chicken a bit bland.
- Ease of prep: Air fryer option was popular, but some struggled with breading sticking to the chicken.
- Suggestions: Consider adding pickles, lettuce, or tomato for extra flavor and crunch. Seasoning the chicken more heavily could boost taste.
- Sides: Several preferred the asparagus over carrots; some suggested sweet potato fries or a side salad instead.
- Sauce: The honey mustard mayo was a hit 🎉; a few wanted it spicier or wished for more.
Reviews from our home cooks
The breading really wasn't up to par because it didn't stick. Just the sour cream and panko isn't enough to create the type of dredge you'd need for a true fried chicken. And it says garlicky but it definitely needed more garlic.
The breading was super easy and it tasted even better than a Popeyes sandwich and they are my favorite
We love the quality of the chicken cutlets! The panko breading makes a great sandwich!
Honey mustard was the best I've ever had. Amazing flavor.
Amazing taste. I love the sauce. I wish the sandwich had toppings like pickles, slaw or cheese to make the sandwich have a more dynamic taste.
Absolutely delicious. The sauce for the chicken should be bottled and sold. Just felt like there should've been more of a side. Loved it, though!
Thought the carrots and asparagus that came was a weird combo. I made both and it really worked. Loved the panko crust for the chicken. Really enjoyed the spicy mustard that went on the sandwich.
So I think you have too many carrots as veggies with your meals so I did add asparagus. It would be nice to have had sweet potato fries with this. The sandwich was the best. Loved it. Overall, more variety of veggies that are included would be great.
The sauce was great, however the Air Fryer method for cooking the chicken didn't work great. Would fry it regular style next time. But I do appreciate the Air Fryer options!
Very tasty! I was worried about cooking the chicken, but ended up with no problems
