Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwiches combine golden fried chicken with fresh romaine, creamy homemade Caesar dressing, and Parmesan on a crusty French baguette. This delicious twist on the classic Caesar salad delivers satisfying crunch and flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

½ cup full-fat mayonnaise

3 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

1-2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Pinch sea salt

For the Chicken:

5 chicken cutlets

Sea salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

Oil for frying

For the Flour Mixture:

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Egg Mixture:

2 eggs

¼ teaspoon salt

For the Breadcrumbs Mixture:

¾ cup panko crumbs

¼ cup breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

For Assembly:

2 romaine hearts, chopped

1-2 French baguettes

Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir until smooth and well-combined. Set aside.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets with sea salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
  3. In one shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and smoked paprika. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the salt. In a third bowl, combine panko crumbs, breadcrumbs, dried parsley, black pepper, sea salt, oregano, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, and then coat in the breadcrumbs mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Slice the French baguette into sandwich-sized pieces. Toast the halves lightly for extra crunch, if desired.
  7. Spread Caesar dressing on both halves of the baguette. Place a fried chicken cutlet on the bottom half. Top with chopped romaine lettuce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette.
  8. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately, garnished with more freshly grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Grill the chicken instead of frying for a lighter version.

For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with crispy chickpea patties or a breaded eggplant slice.

Add hot sauce or chili flakes to the Caesar dressing or on the chicken before frying for a spicy version.
