Description
A delightful combination of crispy chicken and classic Caesar salad flavors in a sandwich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices crusty bread
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup homemade Caesar dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle olive oil over them.
- Coat the chicken in breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior.
- Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C).
- Toast the crusty bread in the oven for the last 5 minutes while the chicken finishes baking.
- Slice the chicken into strips once done for easy assembly.
- Assemble the sandwich: spread Caesar dressing on the toasted bread, add a layer of chopped lettuce, and then top with crispy chicken slices.
- Finish with Parmesan cheese on top and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Caesar dressing before coating it. Use panko breadcrumbs for an even crispier texture.
