Ingredients
For the chicken
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
For the Caesar mayo
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For assembly
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 soft buns brioche buns
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip floured chicken in beaten eggs, then coat in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

- Assemble sandwiches by spreading the Caesar mayo on the buns, adding a piece of crispy chicken, and topping with additional lettuce if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispiness, let the breaded chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying. You can also bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes if preferred.
