The Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich combines all the savory, creamy, and tangy flavors of a classic Caesar salad with juicy, crunchy fried chicken in a toasted bun. It’s a bold and easy lunch or dinner option that’s full of flavor and satisfying texture.

Ingredients

  • 2–4 chicken breasts or thighs, pounded thin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • Olive oil or neutral oil for frying
  • 2–4 toasted sandwich rolls or brioche buns
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • Parmesan shavings, for topping

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with grated Parmesan.
  3. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Toast the sandwich buns until golden.
  6. Spread Caesar dressing on both sides of the buns. Add shredded romaine, crispy chicken, and Parmesan shavings.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

  • Use grilled chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add anchovy paste or Worcestershire sauce to dressing for extra umami.
  • Make it spicy by adding hot sauce to egg wash or red pepper flakes to breadcrumbs.
  • Store chicken separately and reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Assemble sandwich fresh to avoid soggy bread or lettuce.
