Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts Pound to 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking and crispy results.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour can be used for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing overall flavors in the chicken.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Provides a subtle spice that complements the chicken.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Offers flavor without the texture of fresh garlic.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds a splash of color and mild sweetness to the chicken.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the breadcrumbs to the chicken for a crispy coating.
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Key for achieving that tantalizing crunch; best not to substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Can be swapped with nutritional yeast in dairy-free versions.
For the Caesar Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be used for a healthier alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh juice is highly recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Introduces a delightful tanginess to the dressing.
  • 1 clove Minced Garlic Elevates the flavor profile of the Caesar dressing.
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce Adds an umami depth to the dressing's flavor.
For Assembly
  • 2 cups Chopped Romaine Lettuce Provides a fresh and crunchy element to the sandwich.
  • 4 pieces Sandwich Buns Use soft brioche for richness; gluten-free buns are a great alternative if needed.
