Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 sandwich buns, toasted
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
- Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread Caesar dressing on the toasted buns. Top with shredded romaine lettuce and a crispy chicken breast.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
