Myles Stephenson’s Chicken Caesar Schnitzel Sandwich
Alright, hear me out…
When you think Caesar salad, you don’t usually think fried chicken schnitzel stuffed into a bun… but trust me, it works. This is my Chicken Caesar Schnitzel Sandwich – crispy cutlets, creamy homemade Caesar dressing, fresh romaine, all in a toasted brioche or ciabatta. Proper comfort food with a twist.
Ingredients
For the Schnitzel
4 boneless chicken or pork cutlets (½ inch thick)
Salt + pepper
1 cup flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
½ cup grated Parmesan (optional, mix into crumbs)
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Caesar Dressing
½ cup mayo
2 anchovy fillets (or 1 tsp paste)
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Juice of ½ lemon
¼ cup Parmesan, grated
Black pepper
To build it
4 brioche or ciabatta buns, toasted
Romaine lettuce
Shaved Parmesan
Optional: crispy bacon or tomato
Method
1. Make the dressing
Whisk mayo, anchovies, garlic, Dijon, lemon juice, and Parmesan until smooth. Season with black pepper. Chill until ready.
2. Bread the chicken
Season cutlets with salt + pepper.
Coat in flour
Dip in egg
Cover with breadcrumb-Parmesan mix
3. Fry the schnitzel
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high. Fry cutlets 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle a touch of salt.
4. Build Myles’ sandwich
Toast your bun. Spread Caesar dressing on both halves. Then layer:
Bottom bun
Romaine
Schnitzel
Extra Caesar dressing
Shaved Parmesan (plus bacon/tomato if you’re feeling boujee)
Top bun
Myles’ tips
Thin cutlets = perfect crisp and quick cooking.
Medium-high heat keeps it crunchy, not greasy.
Dressing keeps for 2–3 days in the fridge – make extra, trust me.
Serving suggestion
Pair this up with fries, sweet potato wedges, or a cold pint. If you wanna keep it lighter, just go with a fresh side salad.
Final word
This isn’t just another chicken sandwich – it’s Myles Stephenson’s Chicken Caesar Schnitzel Sandwich. Crispy, creamy, salty, fresh. Try it once and you’ll be hooked.
