Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian-style or Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 4 sandwich rolls or buns
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Fry the chicken in a skillet for 4–5 minutes per side or air-fry at 200 °C for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Lightly toast the sandwich rolls.
- Spread Caesar dressing on the buns, layer with romaine lettuce, crispy chicken, and a slice of cheese.
- Flash-toast or microwave briefly to melt the cheese if desired.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is dry before breading to help coating stick.

- Store components separately to maintain freshness and crispiness.
- Freeze cooked chicken for up to 2 months; reheat before assembling.
