Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for frying)

Sandwich Components

  • 4 brioche or ciabatta rolls, sliced and toasted
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, crisp leaves
  • 4 slices of ripe tomato
  • 4 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere better.
  2. Make the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine seasoned breadcrumbs with freshly grated Parmesan cheese to create a flavorful, crunchy crust for the chicken.
  3. Coat and Fry: Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, then thoroughly coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Fry the chicken over medium heat in a skillet with olive oil or butter for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Toast the Bread: While the chicken cooks, slice your rolls and toast them lightly to add texture and prevent sogginess from the dressing and toppings.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on both halves of the toasted bread. Layer on the crispy chicken breast, followed by fresh romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and melted cheese. Close the sandwich and press gently to meld all flavors.

Notes

  • Chicken thickness matters: Even thickness ensures juicy chicken and consistent cooking.
  • Use fresh breadcrumbs: Freshly made breadcrumbs give a lighter, crispier crust than pre-packaged ones.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry chicken in batches to maintain oil temperature and achieve perfect crispiness.
  • Toast the bread well: Adds crunch and prevents steam from making the sandwich soggy.
  • Let cheese melt naturally: Cover the pan briefly to allow cheese to melt perfectly without overcooking the chicken.
