INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHICKEN BREAST:

  • We use it as the main source of protein, and it works well for light recipes. You may use chicken thighs as a substitute, but the calories and points will increase.

OLIVE OIL:

  • It makes the recipe lighter and coats the breadcrumbs well. You may use cooking spray as another option.

PANKO BREADCRUMBS:

  • They make the light and crunchy coating of the chicken. Breadcrumbs make the texture light and crispy. You may use whole-wheat breadcrumbs as an alternative.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • It gives a classic savory taste to the Caesar dressing. Parmesan cheese gives a strong taste to the burgers. You may use pecorino romano as per your choice.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:

  • We use this sauce to make the dressing savory. You may use low-sodium soy sauce as another idea.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, slice the chicken breast horizontally and make four thin pieces.
  2. Coat the pieces with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika evenly.
  3. Put flour in one shallow bowl and beaten egg in a separate bowl.
  4. Mix panko breadcrumbs with parsley in the third bowl.
  5. Dip the chicken pieces in the flour, in the beaten egg, then in the panko mixture.
  6. Lightly brush olive oil on the coated chicken and air fry it for 14 minutes at 400°F.
  7. Mix Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan, Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper in the bowl.
  8. Now mix melted light butter with dried parsley and use it to brush the cut sides of the buns.
  9. Sprinkle Parmesan & toast it in the skillet and spread Caesar dressing in the bottom bun.
  10. Include plenty of chopped romaine and put chicken on top.
  11. Drizzle more Caesar dressing and sprinkle Parmesan, then put the top bun on the chicken.
  12. Lastly, serve the chicken burgers when they are warm.
