Description
A golden, crunchy chicken breast tucked between crisp toast with Caesar dressing and romaine — a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (use panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or sandwich bread)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it.
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated breasts on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken bakes, toast the bread until golden and crisp.
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips against the grain.
- Spread Caesar dressing on one side of each slice of toast. Top with chopped romaine, arrange the chicken strips, and sprinkle extra Parmesan if you like.
- Close the sandwich, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
Best served hot. Store components separately to maintain crispness.
