Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Cutlets

  • 2 chicken breasts halved horizontally into 4 thin cutlets (trim the ends if needed to match the size of your brioche buns)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Oil for shallow frying

For the Crispy Coating

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • ½ cup classic breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Seasonings: Pinch of salt black pepper, and paprika added to both the flour and whisked eggs

For the Homemade Caesar Dressing

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 –5 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

For Assembly

  • 2 brioche burger buns split and toasted
  • 1 head Romaine lettuce washed and chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions
 

  • Whisk Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, 4-5 tbsp Parmesan, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth to make the Caesar dressing. Set aside.
  • Season chicken cutlets with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Dredge cutlets in seasoned flour, dip into seasoned whisked eggs, and coat firmly in combined Panko, classic breadcrumbs, and Parmesan.
  • Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  • In a bowl, toss chopped Romaine lettuce with 2-3 tbsp of the Caesar dressing.
  • Assemble burgers: Spread Caesar dressing on toasted bottom brioche bun, layer with first crispy cutlet, Caesar lettuce, second cutlet, Caesar lettuce, grated Parmesan, and top bun. Serve hot!

Notes

- Wire Rack Cooling: Transfer fried cutlets to a wire rack to keep the bottom crust crisp while assembling.
- Greek Yogurt Base: Greek yogurt lightens the Caesar dressing while keeping it creamy and tangy.
