1-Preparation: Start your crispy chicken Caesar sandwich adventure by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine the garlic butter ingredients and set them aside for later use. Slice and hollow out the 4 sub rolls, spread the garlic butter inside, and add extra grated parmesan cheese before placing them open side up on a baking sheet.

2-Baking: Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes until they turn golden and toasted, and if you want an extra crunch, broil for 2-3 minutes. For the chicken, set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with Caesar dressing mixed with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip the 1 lb (450 g) tenderized chicken tenderloins first in flour, then in the Caesar dressing mixture, and finally in breadcrumbs for that signature crisp.

3-Cooking: Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium heat and test it by sprinkling in some breadcrumbs to check if they sizzle. Fry the breaded chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides, then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Toss the chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing, adding fresh lemon juice and parmesan if you’re using store-bought dressing to brighten the flavors.

4-Assembly: To assemble, layer the crispy sub roll with the fried chicken cutlet, dressed lettuce, and a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese.

5-Roasting: For roasting garlic, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), slice two garlic heads crosswise, place them cut side down on foil, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 30-45 minutes until golden brown.
