Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style or Panko)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 sandwich rolls or buns
- 4 tablespoons Caesar dressing
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 4 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Cook the chicken: Fry the breaded chicken in a skillet with oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C (400°F) for about 15 minutes.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the sandwich rolls or buns.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread Caesar dressing on the inside of the toasted buns. Layer with chopped romaine lettuce, the crispy chicken, and cheese slices.
- Melt the cheese: If desired, briefly toast the assembled sandwich or microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and crispy.
