Description
A crispy, golden breaded chicken fillet layered with fresh romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing inside a lightly toasted brioche bun. This sandwich delivers the perfect balance of crunch, freshness, and bold flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken fillets (about 450 grams total)
- 1 cup (120 grams) all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (100 grams) plain breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
- 4 brioche burger buns
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) shaved parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm gently.
- Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in a second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a third bowl.
- Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking and shimmering slightly.
- Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, dip into the eggs, then coat thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Cook the chicken in the skillet for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 75 degrees Celsius.
- Lightly toast the brioche buns. Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half, add chopped romaine lettuce, place the crispy chicken on top, sprinkle with shaved parmesan, and drizzle with additional dressing if desired.
- Close the sandwich with the top bun and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Toast the buns lightly to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain crispiness.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before assembling for best texture.
- Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer to restore crunch.
