Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken: Preheat air fryer or oven to 200°C (400°F). Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Coat the chicken: In one bowl, add beaten egg. In another, mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in egg, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 3

Cook the chicken: Spray both sides with olive oil and air fry for 10-12 minutes (or bake 18-20 minutes), flipping halfway, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp 74°C / 165°F).

Step 4

Toast the bread: Slice ciabatta rolls in half and lightly butter or spray with olive oil. Toast in a pan or oven until crisp and golden.

Step 5

Make the Caesar filling: In a bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwich: Place cooked chicken on the bottom half of each roll, top with bacon slices, then pile on the Caesar salad mix. Drizzle with a little extra dressing if desired, then close the sandwich.

Step 7

Serve: Slice in half and serve immediately while warm and crunchy.
