Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 soft burger buns
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pound chicken breasts to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Set up dredging stations: In one shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. In another shallow dish, whisk eggs with water. In a third shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bread the chicken: Dip each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Top with chopped romaine lettuce, a crispy chicken breast, and shaved Parmesan cheese. Place the top bun on.
Notes
- For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the chicken in the egg and panko mixtures.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
- You can bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if you prefer not to fry.
- Use your favorite store-bought or homemade Caesar dressing.
- Add other toppings like tomatoes or red onion if desired.
