Chicken Caesar Sandwich

Directions

  1. 1Add 6 garlic cloves to a food processor and blend until minced.
  2. 2Scrape down the food processor.
  3. 3Add 2 whole eggs to the food processor.
  4. 4Add 4 anchovy fillets (rinsed in cold water) to the food processor.
  5. 5Add about a third of a cup of Dijon mustard to the food processor.
  6. 6Add a third of a cup of sherry vinegar to the food processor.
  7. 7Add a third of a cup of lemon juice to the food processor.
  8. 8Add two good pinches of kosher salt to the food processor.
  9. 9Add as much black pepper as desired to the food processor.
  10. 10Run the food processor for about 10 to 20 seconds until everything is smooth.
  11. 11With the food processor running again, drizzle in about two cups of oil.
  12. 12Take boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into sections about this thick.
  13. 13Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and dried oregano.
  14. 14Load a few seasoned chicken pieces into a Ziploc bag.
  15. 15Smack them nice and thin with a pan.
  16. 16Dredge the chicken in flour, then egg wash, and finally breadcrumbs.
  17. 17Push the chicken cutlets into the breadcrumbs to maximize coating.
  18. 18Get a pan hot over medium heat and fill it with enough oil to just come up about halfway up your piece of chicken.
  19. 19Lay your chicken into the hot oil away from yourself, ensuring it sizzles right away.
  20. 20After about three to four minutes, flip the chicken to brown the other side.
  21. 21Once the other side is golden brown, get the chicken onto a clean rack or a plate with paper towel.
  22. 22Immediately season the fried chicken with kosher salt.
  23. 23Place the chicken somewhere warm like a low oven.
  24. 24Toast the bread in the same seasonings used for the chicken.
  25. 25Rub the toasted bread with a garlic clove to make it like a giant crouton.
  26. 26Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing onto the bread.
  27. 27Add the crispy chicken cutlets onto the dressed bread.
  28. 28Top with shredded lettuce.
  29. 29Close the sandwich.

Tips

  • Don't go past the texture of mayonnaise when drizzling oil into the dressing, or it will break and become greasy.
  • Pounding the chicken thin maximizes crispy surface area and ensures the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Lay chicken away from yourself into the hot oil.
