Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 4 crusty bread rolls (ciabatta or baguette)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking the chicken.
  2. Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan in a third bowl.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg wash, then roll in the panko mixture until fully coated.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Alternatively, bake on a parchment-lined sheet for approximately 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  5. Slice open the bread rolls and layer with romaine lettuce. Place crispy chicken on top and drizzle with Caesar dressing.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy.
