Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich – Easy Lunch Recipes
This crispy chicken Caesar sandwich has become one of my go-to easy lunch recipes. Think golden, crunchy chicken nestled in a soft bun, layered with creamy Caesar dressing, crisp romaine, and just the right kick of Parmesan. It’s not just good—it’s craveable.
I first threw this together after a long morning of errands and a serious case of hanger. I had leftover breaded chicken, half a bottle of Caesar in the fridge, and sandwich buns sitting lonely on the counter. The result? Something way better than I expected. It felt like a guilty pleasure, but it was so easy and fast, I didn’t even have time to feel guilty.
