Description
A simple recipe for a crispy chicken sandwich featuring Caesar dressing and romaine lettuce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 4 sandwich buns
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thin cutlets.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a second shallow dish, whisk the egg and milk.
- In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured cutlet into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
- Coat the cutlet thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place chicken cutlets in the hot oil, frying for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Lightly toast the sandwich buns, if desired.
- Assemble the sandwiches: spread Caesar dressing on both halves of each bun.
- Place one crispy chicken cutlet on the bottom bun.
- Top the chicken with chopped romaine lettuce and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Place the top bun on the sandwich.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can bake the chicken instead of frying; bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Use your favorite store-bought or homemade Caesar dressing.
