Special Tools
Electric double side cooking grill. (Grill? Yeah, right. These products are glorified frying pans) Any home grilling item that cooks both sides simultaneously will work. Or you can use one of those frying pans with the raised "grill mark" maker. (see below for directions)
You'll also need a meat mallet, and a separate electric griddle (smooth surface) for toasting the buns.
Ingredients
2 chicken breast filets
4 large sesame seed buns
lettuce, tomato slices, mayonnaise
Marinade
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Kraft® grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon (or one cube) chicken bullion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (from concentrate)
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (Wrights® works best)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground paprika
Preparation
1. Prepare the marinade by mixing together the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Refrigerate until later.
2. Cut the two breast portions in half, creating 4 chicken patties. Pound them with a meat mallet to 3/8" thick, then trim the edges to make as round as possible. They should be about 4" in diameter.
3. Put the finished breast portions in the prepared marinade, poking each 5 or 6 times with a fork. (This allows the marinade to seep inside) Let them soak in the mixture for several hours before cooking.
4. Preheat your Grill, according to manufacturer's directions.
5. Toast the buns, using McDonald’s method.
6. Lay the breast patties on the bottom of the preheated grilling product, and close the top. Allow to cook 5-8 minutes, depending upon the number you are cooking.
7. Dress the toasted crown (top) of your bun as follows:
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped iceberg lettuce, one large tomato slice.
8. After the chicken is done, place it on the dressed bun, and cap with the toasted heel.
(the chicken should be fairly even in color with no pink in the center)
9. Wrap the finished grilled McChicken® in a large sheet of waxed paper, allow to sit 5 minutes, then
microwave 20 seconds to re-heat. (microwave while still wrapped)
Frying Pan Instructions
If using a frying pan (with raised grill marks), preheat to medium-high and cook the marinated chicken patties as follows
1. Place the chicken on the pan, and sear immediately. (sear by applying pressure for about 5 seconds)
2. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, depending upon the amount and actual temperature of your pan.
3. When the chicken is finished cooking, it will have a fairly even, golden-tan color with no pink in the middle.
Proceed as directed above.
