Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Frying pan
- Air fryer (optional)
- Baking tray
- Knife and cutting board
- Brush or spoon (for spreading garlic butter)
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 200 g chicken breast
- 10 g Parmesan grated
- 20 g breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- 2 tsp onion granules
- 2 tsp parsley
- 1 egg beaten
- Salt and pepper
- For the Garlic Butter:
- 20 g butter softened
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- Black pepper to taste
- For the Subs:
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 3-4 tbsp Caesar dressing
- Romaine lettuce chopped
- 4 slices streaky bacon cooked until crispy
- Extra Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Chicken. Butterfly the chicken breasts and cut them into thin fillets. Season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic granules, onion granules, and parsley. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Step 2: Cook the Chicken. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Finish in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with parsley, garlic granules, garlic paste, and black pepper.
- Step 4: Prep the Ciabatta. Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread the garlic butter on the inside and outside of each roll. Place the rolls on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Step 5: Assemble the Subs. Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with crispy lettuce, a piece of crispy chicken, a slice of bacon, and a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan. Add the top half of the roll and serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Thinly sliced chicken cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent drying out.
- Toast the Rolls Carefully: Watch the ciabatta in the oven to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Balance the Sauce: Use Caesar dressing sparingly to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
