Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1–2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped or whole leaves
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
  • 2 sandwich buns or ciabatta rolls
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for toasting bread)

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken to even thickness and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest.

  5. Spread Caesar dressing on both sides of the bun. Layer with lettuce, crispy chicken, more dressing if desired, and Parmesan.

Notes

  • Use grilled chicken for a lighter version.
  • Mix Caesar dressing into breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
  • Turn it into a wrap with large tortillas or flatbread.
  • Add sliced tomatoes for more freshness and texture.
  • Reheat chicken in oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
