Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1.5 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ? cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 5-6 tablespoons olive oil for cooking and dressing
  • 4-6 brioche buns
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • ? lemon juiced
  • 10-12 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • kosher salt and pepper for seasoning
  • ? cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • ? cup shaved parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • skillet
  • food processor
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  2. Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs and parmesan in another plate or bowl.
  3. Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
  5. Add the chicken 2 to 3 pieces at a time. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove each piece of chicken and place it on the paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  6. 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. Stream in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms.
  7. 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 well to coat the lettuce.
  8. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a cutlet (or 2) on a bun and topping it high with caesar salad.
