A crunchy and creamy chicken Caesar sandwich featuring simple breading, crisp lettuce, and bold dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • Optional: sliced tomatoes, red onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into 4 equal portions. Pound them to an even thickness.
  2. Set up breading stations: In one shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second shallow dish, whisk eggs and water. In a third shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken portion in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the panko-Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the brioche buns. Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Top with chopped romaine lettuce, a piece of fried chicken, and optional toppings. Place the top half of the bun on top.

Notes

  • For make-ahead convenience, you can bread the chicken and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • You can also make your own Caesar dressing or use your favorite store-bought version.
  • Consider this a great option for easy lunch ideas or a quick weeknight sandwich.
