Description
A delicious and crispy chicken sandwich topped with Caesar dressing and fresh romaine lettuce, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing
- 2 brioche buns or sandwich rolls
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: extra Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Coat the chicken: Dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure a thick coating.
- Fry the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Assemble the sandwich: Toast the brioche buns until golden. Toss the chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing.
- Build the sandwich: Place a crispy chicken breast on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the Caesar-dressed lettuce and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Close the sandwich with the top bun.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to add other toppings like tomatoes or bacon for more flavor.
