Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bread (ciabatta or brioche)
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
- Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with seasoned flour (garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper), one with beaten eggs (or a vegan alternative), and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat each marinated chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the coated chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side), ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Lightly toast your bread if desired. Assemble by spreading Caesar dressing on one slice of bread, layering on crispy chicken, romaine lettuce, and Parmesan cheese before topping with another slice.
