Cooking Steps

• Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Season both cutlets generously on both sides.
• Bread the chicken: Set up a dredging station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Italian breadcrumbs. Dip each cutlet in flour → egg → breadcrumbs. Press the crumbs in so they stick and give that super crunchy finish.
• Fry until crispy: Heat neutral oil in a shallow pan to 350–375°F. Fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel.
• Toast the bread: Butter both sides of the bread lightly. Pan method: toast on medium heat until golden and crisp. Toaster method: toast first, then spread butter on warm slices.
• Melt the mozzarella: Microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft, or warm in a small pan over low heat. Add to the sandwich while warm.
• Build the sandwich: Spread Caesar dressing onto your toasted bread.
• Layer on: Crispy chicken, warm mozzarella, Caesar-dressed iceberg, and freshly grated Parmesan. Top with the second slice of bread.
• Slice it in half… and enjoy!
