Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 4 pieces brioche or ciabatta rolls Toasted preferably
  • 4 pieces thin chicken cutlets Pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Shredded or grated
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce Shredded
  • 4 tablespoons Caesar dressing Store-bought or homemade
For Breading the Chicken
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs Beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For extra crunch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness around 1/2 inch.
  2. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for a mix of panko and Parmesan.
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture.
  5. Let the breaded chicken rest on a rack for about 10 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat a shallow layer of oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Assemble the Sandwich
  1. Toast the bread rolls lightly.
  2. Slice the cooked chicken and toss with a spoonful of Caesar dressing if desired.
  3. Layer the lettuce on the bottom of the toasted roll, followed by the sliced chicken and a drizzle of Caesar dressing.
  4. Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately.

Notes

For variations: try using different types of bread, cheese, or toppings like bacon or tomatoes. The dressing can also be substituted with lighter options like Greek yogurt-based dressing.
