  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1.5 Cups Breadcrumbs I used Kinders Parmesan Herb Panko, but any will work!
  • 2 Cup Oil For frying

For the Caesar Dressing

  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 5 Whole Garlic Cloves
  • 5 Anchovy Filets packed in oil OR 1 tbsp anchovy paste OR 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

For Assembly

  • 2 Jumbo Croissants I got mine from the bakery at my local grocery store
  • 2 Cups Chopped Romaine Lettuce
  • 1-2 tbsp Butter for toasting the croissants
  • 1 tbsp Melted Butter for brushing the tops of the rolls
  • 1 tsp each Garlic Powder, Grated parmesan and Dried parsley to mix in with the melted butter

Instructions

  • First, slice the chicken breast and pound thin.
  • Next, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs to another bowl.
  • Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing by blending mayo, garlic, anchovies, Dijon, lemon juice, Parmesan, and pepper until smooth.
  • After that, toss chopped romaine with 1 cup of dressing and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat avocado oil and fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  • While the chicken rests, slice and butter croissants, then toast butter side down in a skillet until golden.
  • To assemble, layer dressed romaine, crispy chicken, and the top half of the croissant.
  • Finally, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, Parmesan, and parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage & Leftovers

  • Leftover Caesar dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week in a mason jar.
  • Fried chicken cutlets can be refrigerated and reheated in a 375°F oven or air fryer until warmed and crispy.
  • Toasted croissants are best fresh, but can be lightly re-toasted in a skillet or toaster oven.
