Description
A crispy chicken Caesar sandwich loaded with crunchy breaded chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing all tucked into a toasted bun for the ultimate flavor and texture combo.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
4 sandwich buns, toasted
1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Caesar dressing
Optional: sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon
Instructions
1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and cut each in half for sandwich-sized portions.
2. Set up a breading station: one plate with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs (salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika).
3. Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, and press into breadcrumbs until well coated.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. In a small bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese.
7. Assemble the sandwiches: place crispy chicken on the bottom bun, top with Caesar salad mixture, and add optional tomato or bacon if desired.
8. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
For an air-fryer version, cook breaded chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Use brioche or ciabatta buns for extra texture and flavor.
Add a drizzle of extra Caesar dressing or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
