Instructions
Creating your Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich is simpler than you might think! Just follow these steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, combine flour with a pinch of salt. In another shallow dish, pour panko breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Chicken: Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade. Dredge each piece first in flour, then dip back into the buttermilk, and finally coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous layer of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook Chicken: Fry the chicken breasts in the heated oil for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Toast Bread: While the chicken is cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
7. Assemble Sandwich: Once the chicken is cooked, place a piece on each slice of toast. Top with chopped romaine lettuce, drizzle with Caesar dressing, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
8. Finish: Place another slice of toasted bread on top to create a sandwich.
9. Cut & Serve: Slice each sandwich in half for easier handling, and serve immediately.
