This is the ultimate crispy chicken sandwich, topped with a chopped Caesar salad and french fries.
The Deets
The ultimate summer stack is here, and it’s everything you could want in a sandwich. Imagine a crispy, golden-brown chicken cutlet, juicy on the inside and perfectly seasoned on the outside, nestled between two soft buns. But we didn’t stop there—it’s topped with a heaping scoop of a chopped Caesar salad, bringing that crunchy, tangy flavor that pairs so well with the chicken.
Instead of traditional croutons, I went with a side of crispy fries for that extra salty, satisfying crunch. To elevate the flavors even more, I added a burst of freshness with a homemade tomato and red onion vinaigrette, which adds a slightly tangy, savory kick to every bite. The combination of textures and flavors in this sandwich makes it the ultimate treat for your summer gatherings. Make sure to use a deep pan for cooking up the chicken – like this one.
Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard BBQ, or just looking for a weekend indulgence, this sandwich will hit the spot.
