Description
This crispy chicken Caesar sandwich brings together golden breaded chicken cutlets, crunchy romaine, and creamy homemade Caesar dressing on a toasted baguette. It’s easy enough for a weekday, but flavorful enough to impress — and perfect for lunch, dinner, or a weekend treat.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets)
Salt & black pepper to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg (beaten)
¾ cup Panko breadcrumbs
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Caesar Dressing:
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Salt & black pepper to taste
For Assembly:
1 crusty baguette or 2 large sandwich rolls
2 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
Extra Parmesan shavings (optional)
Instructions
Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound to even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and a breadcrumb mixture (breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Parmesan).
Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumb mix.
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels or wire rack.
In a bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Slice and toast bread. Spread Caesar dressing, layer lettuce, chicken cutlets, and optional Parmesan.
Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
Notes
You can bake the chicken at 425°F for 20 minutes for a lighter version.
Store extra Caesar dressing in the fridge up to 4 days.
Add avocado or grilled veggies for variations.
