Golden, crispy schnitzels, garlicky caesar dressing and cheesy garlic bread – this is not your average sandwich. It's packed with crunch, flavour and pure comfort, all in one bite. Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwiches are easy to make and even easier to love.
Ingredients
GARLIC BREAD BAGUETTE
- 4 small rolls – mini sub, baguette, sourdough or pane di casa
- 80 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ tsp freshly minced garlic
- 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- 50 g freshly grated parmesan (or shaved if you prefer)
CAESAR FILLING
- 250 g whole-egg mayonnaise
- ½ tsp freshly minced garlic
- 2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cos (romaine) lettuce or 2 baby cos lettuces, shredded
- 4 Freezer-friendly Chicken Schnitzels, cooked (see note 1)
- 50 g freshly grated parmesan, to serve
Instructions
- Prep the garlic bread baguettes – Preheat the oven grill (broiler) to high.
- Cut each roll in half lengthways.
- Arrange the slices facing up on a baking tray.
- Combine the butter with the garlic, parsley and salt.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture over both cut sides of the rolls. Sprinkle both sides with parmesan.
- Grill (broil) for 2–3 minutes or until crispy and golden.
- Make the caesar filling – Meanwhile, to make the caesar filling, add the mayonnaise, garlic, anchovies (if using), lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then tumble the cos lettuce in. Toss with tongs to coat generously in the dressing.
- Assemble and serve – To assemble, pile the toasted rolls with the chicken schnitzels, caesar salad and a generous sprinkle of parmesan. Serve immediately.
Notes
Note 1 – Thaw the frozen schnitzels overnight in the fridge.
MAKE AHEAD
Garlic butter – Can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Caesar dressing – Can be made 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Garlic bread – Can be prepped (buttered and topped with cheese) and stored in the fridge for up to 1 day before grilling.LEFTOVERS
Leftover schnitzels – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven to retain crispiness, or in the microwave for a quick option (the coating will soften). Lettuce and dressing – These don’t store well once mixed, so if you want leftovers, keep them separate. Store lettuce for up to 5 days (see my fruit and veg storage tips article) and dressing for up to 2 days, refrigerated in an airtight container. Garlic bread – Store refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Can be reheated in the oven for 5 minutes at 200°C (400°F) (180°C/350°F fan-forced) to crisp up again.Recipe source
