Ingredients

Dressing & salad:

  • ¾ c mayo
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 c Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tbsp anchovy paste
  • Romaine lettuce 2 cups chopped

Chicken:

  • 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ c Parmesan cheese
  • Red pepper flakes

Bread:

  • Hero bread
  • Softened butter
  • Garlic powder
  • Italian seasoning
  • Sliced Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Add the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust to your liking. The dressing will keep well in the fridge for about a week in an airtight container.
  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise. Take a saran wrap and pound it down a bit until it’s thinner. Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  • To a mixing bowl add the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Mix to combine. To another bowl whisk together the eggs. In one more bowl add the flour.
  • Coat the chicken with the flour, then egg, shake off the excess and lastly coat with the panko breadcrumbs really making sure to press it in and cover every crevice.
  • Butter the insides of the hero bread and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium high heat with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot add the chicken breast and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees, check with a meat thermometer. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • In a bowl toss the caesar dressing with the romaine lettuce. Slice the chicken breast into strips.
  • Start to assemble the sandwich. Add the chicken breast strips, sliced parmesan cheese and caesar salad. Eat and enjoy!
