Ingredients

Spicy Crispy Chicken

• 2 chicken breasts, flattened

• ½ cup flour

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1 cup spicy panko breadcrumbs

• Salt & pepper

• Garlic powder

• Paprika

• Oil, for cooking

Caesar Dressing

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 3 tbsp lemon juice

• 2 tsp Dijon mustard

• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1–2 cloves garlic, grated

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For Assembly

• Hoagie buns

• Romaine lettuce

• Butter (for toasting buns)

Instructions

1. Bread the Chicken

Start by seasoning both sides of the flattened chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls:

• One with flour

• One with beaten eggs

• One with spicy panko breadcrumbs

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the eggs, then coat fully in the spicy panko. Press gently to help the breadcrumbs stick.

2. Cook the Chicken

Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken.

Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and set aside.

3. Make the Caesar Dressing

In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the dressing. Stir in the grated Parmesan.

4. Toast the Buns

Butter the inside of each hoagie bun and toast in a skillet or on a griddle until lightly golden and crisp.

5. Assemble the Sandwich

Layer the crispy chicken onto the toasted buns. Top generously with the Caesar-dressed romaine and finish with extra Parmesan if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
