- 5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 to 6 brioche buns
caesar salad
- 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
- ½ lemon juiced
- kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 10 to 12 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
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.
Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs and parmesan in another plate or bowl.
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Heat the oil for about 5 minutes before adding chicken.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Ensure the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally.
To make the dressing, add garlic, yogurt, parmesan, mustard, vinegar, anchovy paste, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a food processor and blend until pureed. Stream in the olive oil until creamy.
Place the romaine in a bowl and toss with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of dressing and add in the parmesan. Toss well.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a cutlet (or 2) on a bun and topping high with caesar salad. Serve with extra salad if desired.
