Print Recipe

A delightful twist on the classic Caesar salad with crunchy textures, savory flavors, and crispy chicken, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full fat Mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Anchovy Fillets
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (preferably whole milk)
  • 1 Lemon, juice only
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 small clove of Garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Chicken Breasts (7-9oz each)
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the anchovy fillets in a medium bowl until a paste forms. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and milk. Whisk until smooth, cover, and refrigerate.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: place flour in the first dish, whisked eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon salt in the third dish.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry and pound them to an even thickness if needed. Dredge each breast in the flour, dip in the egg wash, then coat with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the breaded chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it drain on a wire rack.
  6. Slice the chicken and toss crispy lettuce with the chilled Caesar dressing. Arrange the dressed lettuce in bowls, top with the chicken, and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve fresh and warm, optionally garnishing with extra cheese and a lemon wedge.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying it.
