2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 12 small pieces
1 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1 tbsp melted butter

6. In a bowl, toss lettuce with Caesar dressing.
7. Layer crispy chicken on the bun bottoms, then top with dressed lettuce and Parmesan cheese.

Add a slice of mozzarella or provolone for a cheesy upgrade.
Serve with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
