Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 chicken breast, halved lengthwise and pounded
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Caesar Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Sandwich Assembly

  • 2 cups lettuce, washed and chopped
  • 3 mini loaves of bread or sub rolls
  • 3 tablespoons butter (for toasting)
  • Freshly grated Parmesan (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the halved and pounded chicken breasts with salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. This ensures the meat is flavorful before breading.
  2. Bread the Chicken: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper; one with the beaten egg and water mixture; and one with the panko breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken piece first in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat evenly with panko crumbs.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Make the Caesar Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, ground black pepper, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
  5. Toast the Bread: Slice the mini loaves or sub rolls and spread butter on the cut sides. Toast them in a skillet or on a griddle until golden and crispy.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on the toasted bread, add lettuce, the crispy chicken breast, and finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Close the sandwich and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchiness.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
  • For a lighter version, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it.
  • Leftover Caesar dressing keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with a side of fries or a simple salad to complement the sandwich.
