Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs

  • 4 slices of your choice of bread e.g., ciabatta, whole wheat

Instructions

  • Start by marinating the chicken in buttermilk for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
  • In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip in the breadcrumbs.
  • Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary.
  • Fry until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.
  • To assemble the sandwich, spread Caesar dressing on each slice of bread.
  • Layer on chopped romaine lettuce, fried chicken, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  • Top with the other bread slice, press gently, and serve.
