Instructions

  • Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. You want thin slices - ones you can almost see through! I get 3 to 5 thin slices from one chicken breast. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs and parmesan in another plate or bowl.
  • Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I like to heat the oil for a good 5 minutes before adding the chicken. Watch the heat the entire time - if it seems to be too hot, make sure to lower it!
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
  • Add the chicken 2 to 3 pieces at a time. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. This should cook the chicken the entire way through, but take the temperature to make sure it is 165 degrees F inside if you’re unsure. Remove each piece of chicken and place it on the paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • To make the dressing, add the garlic, yogurt, parmesan, mustard, vinegar, anchovy paste, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and blend until pureed. With the processor still on, stream in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms.
  • Place the romaine in a large bowl and toss with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the caesar dressing. Add in the finely grated and shaved parmesan. Toss the lettuce well so everything is coated.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by placing a cutlet (or 2) on a bun and topping it high with caesar salad. You can serve the sandwich with extra salad too!

Notes

You can store extra caesar dressing sealed in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days and stir well before using.
