Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 oz each)
1 cup all-purpose flour (for coating)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
0.5 tsp paprika (optional for color)
0.5 tsp salt (to taste)
0.5 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
2 eggs (whisked)
0.25 cup milk (to thin egg wash)
0.25 inch vegetable oil (for frying)
2 brioche buns or ciabatta rolls (toasted)
0.5 cup romaine lettuce (chopped)
2–3 slices tomatoes (fresh)
0.25 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
0.33 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp garlic mayo (optional)
Handful croutons (optional, for crunch)

Instructions

Prepare the chicken by placing the breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pounding them to an even thickness.
In one bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, dip in egg wash, and then back into the flour.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Toast the brioche buns or ciabatta rolls in a skillet or oven until golden.
Assemble the sandwich with romaine lettuce, fresh tomato, crispy chicken, parmesan, Caesar dressing, and garlic mayo.

Notes

Serve with side pickle spears or a small side salad. Feel free to customize with additional toppings like croutons or different cheeses.
