A delicious Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich featuring crispy chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, and crunchy romaine lettuce, perfect for lunch or a casual dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Set up a breading station with panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the oven if needed to ensure fully cooked.
- Slice ciabatta rolls in half and toast them until golden and crispy.
- Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each roll, add the crispy chicken, shredded romaine lettuce, and Parmesan cheese.
- Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll and serve immediately.
Notes
- For gluten-free options, use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh.
- Consider marinating the chicken in Caesar dressing for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container, keeping chicken and dressing separate.
