Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich (Recipe for Printing)

Golden crispy chicken with homemade Caesar dressing and fresh romaine, all tucked into a crusty French baguette.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Caesar Dressing

01 - 120 ml full-fat mayonnaise
02 - 45 ml Greek yogurt
03 - 5 ml Dijon mustard
04 - 5 ml Worcestershire sauce
05 - 30 ml lemon juice
06 - 60 ml freshly grated Parmesan cheese
07 - 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
08 - 1.25 ml black pepper
09 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Chicken

10 - 5 chicken cutlets
11 - Sea salt to taste
12 - Ground black pepper to taste
13 - Oil for frying

→ Flour Mixture

14 - 80 ml all-purpose flour
15 - 2.5 ml salt
16 - 3.75 ml smoked paprika

→ Egg Mixture

17 - 2 eggs
18 - 1.25 ml salt

→ Breadcrumbs Mixture

19 - 180 ml panko crumbs
20 - 60 ml breadcrumbs
21 - 5 ml dried parsley
22 - 2.5 ml ground black pepper
23 - 2.5 ml sea salt
24 - 2.5 ml dried oregano
25 - 5 ml garlic powder
26 - 60 ml freshly grated Parmesan cheese

→ Assembly

27 - 2 romaine hearts, chopped
28 - 1-2 French baguettes
29 - Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.
02 - Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: flour mixture, beaten egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture. Dredge each cutlet first in flour, then egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
03 - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry breaded cutlets until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 74°C. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
04 - Slice baguettes horizontally and spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on both cut sides. Place fried chicken cutlets on the bottom half, top with chopped romaine lettuce, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, and close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - For a lighter version, you can bake the breaded chicken cutlets instead of frying. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
