A homemade Rippa-style roll with crumbed chicken strips, lettuce and herb mayo

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.

  • 2 long soft rolls
  • 300 g chicken tenderloins
  • ½ cup (75 g) plain flour
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 cup (60 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp each salt, paprika and garlic powder
  • Herb mayonnaise: ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Oil, for shallow-frying

Method

  1. Season the flour. Crumb the tenderloins: flour, egg, then panko, pressing firmly.
  2. Shallow-fry in 1 cm of oil for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through. Drain on a rack.
  3. Stir the herb mayonnaise together.
  4. Split and lightly toast the rolls. Sauce generously.
