Ingredients
Scale
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 brioche buns
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
Optional: sliced tomatoes, red onion
Instructions
Prepare the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into 4 equal portions. Pound them to an even thickness.
Set up breading stations: In one shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another shallow dish, whisk eggs and water. In a third shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken portion in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the panko-Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere.
Cook the chicken: Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the brioche buns. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Top with chopped romaine lettuce and Caesar dressing. Add optional toppings if desired. Place the top half of the bun on top.
Notes
For homemade croutons, cube stale bread, toss with olive oil and garlic powder, and bake until golden.
