Chicken Cutlets:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets
1/2cup buttermilk
Breadcrumb Mixture:
1cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Other Ingredients:
1/4cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Caesar dressing
4 sandwich buns or brioche rolls
1cup shredded romaine lettuce
Extra shaved Parmesan for topping
Olive oil or cooking spray for baking or frying
Instructions
Marinate Chicken: Place chicken cutlets in a bowl with buttermilk and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare Breadcrumb Coating: In a shallow dish, combine panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat Chicken: Dredge the marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a light coating of oil, or bake the breaded chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
Make Caesar Mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Caesar dressing.
Assemble Sandwiches: Toast the sandwich buns, then spread Caesar mayo on each side. Layer each bun with crispy chicken, shredded romaine, and shaved Parmesan. Top with the bun and serve immediately.
Notes
Add sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon for extra flavor.
For a spicy version, mix a little hot sauce into the Caesar mayo.
