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 ⅓ inch thick). Halve buns.
In a shallow dish, combine panko, garlic powder, salt (we used 1 tsp; 2 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper.
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.
While carrots roast, heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
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 ⅓-inch layer of oil in pan used for bacon 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, 4-6 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 7 minutes. Flip chicken and coat again with cooking spray; air fry until cooked through and crispy, 7 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 and bacon.
Divide sandwiches and carrots between plates. Serve with any remaining honey mustard mayo on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was very good. It was nice to have something different. The chicken was very big and could make four sandwiches.
This was so yummy, easy to make and whole family enjoyed it
Love awesome chicken sandwich! And um not a sandwich person! I enjoyed both the carrots and broccoli!
The sauce in this recipe is a must for me moving forward.
The chicken was amazing. The bun was a little too thick.
Chicken was great. I was scared to try air fryer recipe but May try it next time.
A favorite in our house. Prefer it without the bacon though.
chicken/bacon sandwich with the honey mustard is good. the carrots are very bad. definitely needs a different side. would be good with the potato wedges
The breading didn't stick to the chicken at all when I fried it. Turns out you need more than just sour cream to bind panko breading to chicken. Otherwise chicken was juicy
Bacon tastes strange. Never send enough bread crumbs.. if I'm frying chicken I expect my chicken to be coated.. what you send is not a decent amount to have a properly covered chicken... 2 at that.. the ingredients come in so crappy that I have to take them all out and store them out the bags and I didn't even know there was broccoli until I wrote this . Send more breadcrumbs
