Ingredients
- 2 thin chicken breast fillets (about 300 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (1 g)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (3 g)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (2 g)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (100 g)
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 1 1/2 cups / 360 ml or as needed)
- 2 cups chopped lettuce (about 120 g)
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing (80 ml)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 g)
- 2 sandwich rolls, sub rolls, or burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing for spreading (optional)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Pat the chicken fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.
- Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, dip into the eggs, then coat fully with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
- In a bowl, toss the chopped lettuce with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese.
- Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast if desired.
- Spread extra Caesar dressing on the bread if using.
- Place one crispy chicken fillet on the bottom half of each roll.
- Top with the Caesar lettuce mixture and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese.
- Close the sandwich and serve immediately while the chicken is warm and crispy.
Notes
- Allow fried chicken to rest on a wire rack to keep it crispy.
- You can bake or air-fry the chicken for a lighter version.
- Use sturdy bread like ciabatta or sub rolls to hold the filling.
- Add sliced tomato, onion, or avocado for extra flavor.
- Assemble the sandwich just before serving to maintain crisp texture.
