**1. Prepare the Chicken:**
– Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
– In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
– Cut the chicken breasts into strips and coat them in the spice mixture.
– Place the chicken on a baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
**2. Make the Fries:**
– While the chicken is baking, wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips.
– Rinse the potato strips in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry.
– In a bowl, toss the potato strips with vegetable oil and a pinch of salt.
– Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the oven (you can add them during the last 20-30 minutes of chicken cooking) until they are crispy and golden brown.
**3. Assemble the Sandwiches:**
– Slice the rolls open and spread a generous amount of mayonnaise or garlic sauce on the inside.
– Layer with fresh lettuce leaves, then add the baked chicken strips.
– Top with optional ingredients like sliced tomatoes, pickles, or onions for added flavor.
– Close the sandwich and serve with a side of crispy fries.
Tips for the Perfect Broodje
– **Marinate the Chicken:** For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for a few hours or overnight.
– **Homemade Fries:** If you have the time, try making your fries from scratch for an unbeatable taste. You can even double-fry them for extra crispiness.
– **Customize Your Sandwich:** Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Avocado, cheese, or even a spicy sauce can elevate your broodje to the next level.
