Step-by-Step Instructions for Crunchy Chicken Caesar Sandwich
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your workspace.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  4. Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even covering.
  5. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  8. Grill the buttered bread slices in a skillet until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  10. Toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
