Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 sandwich rolls or buns
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and ground pepper. This will form the base for coating the chicken.
-
Coat the Chicken: Lightly dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour to avoid a heavy coating.
-
Heat the Skillet: Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat until it’s hot. This step ensures the chicken will cook evenly and not stick to the pan.
-
Cook the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned. This initial sear will lock in the juices and add flavor.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and a splash of hot pepper sauce if you prefer a bit of heat. Pour this mixture over the browned chicken breasts in the skillet.
-
Simmer the Chicken: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. The sauce will reduce slightly and infuse the chicken with a rich, tangy flavor.
-
Add the Toppings: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the chopped walnuts and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. This will add a crunchy texture and a burst of cheesy goodness.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Lay the romaine lettuce leaves on the sandwich rolls. Place the cooked chicken breasts on top of the lettuce. Top with the other half of the roll or bun.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Caesar Chicken Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm, and the lettuce is crisp.
