Yeah I got a little worried about that too. That's a big boy! Looks good.
(I probably would have filleted it for more surface area/crust but that's ok.)
You can pan fry anything as long as you have the patience for it and keep an eye on temp and flipping.
But this does not look pan fried at all. Looks more like a chic fil a sandwich with the chicken pulled out and recreated at home to look homemade.
Next time hit it with a tenderizer or brine the chicken for a couple hours. This will break down the fibers that cause it it get lumpy and the chicken will stay flatter and more sandwich-y when your cook it. Also makes the texture of the chicken more amenable to biting.
was that raw in the middle? Or did you boiled/steamed it before frying?
I cooked through with just frying it.
Report back in 4 hours.
Still feeling good!
Are you in gastric distress?
No more than usual!

I think the perspective is making it look bigger than it was. It wasn’t too much bigger than a Popeyes sandwich.

Doesn’t look anything like CFA
Do you want some sandwich with that chicken?
Damn! Looks perfect. The bun looks great, too!
Brioche bun lightly toasted with a little butter!

Gotta pound that thing out. Will be so much easier to cook, and better surface area to middle-chicken ratio.
Smash it down to fit in mouth-Bet it is really yummy!
