Homemade Chicken Caeser Sandwich

Homemade Chicken Caeser Sandwich

Ingredients

  • Chicken
  • 2–3 boneless chicken breasts (1.2 lbs)

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp onion powder

  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper

  • 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning

  • 2 tbsp Kinder’s Lemon Butter Garlic Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp dried parsley

  • 2 tbsp mustard

  • 2–3 small eggs (whisked)

  • 1 lb all-purpose flour (seasoned with the same spices above)

  • 32 fl oz vegetable oil (for frying)

  • Croissants and Honey Butter
  • 2–3 premade croissants (available at Publix, Kroger, or Walmart)

  • 1 stick of butter

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • Caesar Salad Topping
  • 1 Caesar salad kit (includes lettuce, parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and crushed croutons)

  • Optional
  • Sliced pepper jack cheese

  • Chips and a drink of your choice

Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, lemon pepper seasoning, Kinder’s Lemon Butter Garlic Seasoning, and dried parsley.
  • Rub the chicken breasts with mustard, then coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  • Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the seasoned flour, then into the whisked egg mixture, and back into the flour. Repeat for a double coating. Press the flour onto the chicken to ensure a flaky crust.
  • Let the coated chicken rest for 5 minutes in a cool area.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet on high for 3 minutes.
  • Fry the chicken in batches (2–3 breasts at a time) for about 7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispiness, fry for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the croissants in half and bake at 350°F for 3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  • Melt the stick of butter in the microwave and stir in 2 tbsp of honey. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix the lettuce, parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and crushed croutons from the Caesar salad kit.
  • Spread the Caesar salad mixture on the bottom half of each croissant.
  • Place a fried chicken breast on top of the salad (add sliced pepper jack cheese if desired).
  • Add more Caesar salad mix on top of the chicken and drizzle with additional Caesar dressing.
  • Brush the top half of each croissant with the honey butter mixture and garnish with dried parsley.
