Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Preheat oven or air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken tenderloins with garlic powder, onion powder, adobo, sazon, and parsley. Ensure the chicken is well seasoned.
Coat each tenderloin with seasoned flour, dip in beaten egg, and then coat with bread crumbs and chicken coating.

2- Cook the Chicken:

Place coated tenderloins on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.
Bake or air fry for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

3- Prepare Garlic Butter:

In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
Add roasted garlic, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir well and set aside.

4- Make the Salad:

In a large bowl, combine chopped green lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing. Toss until evenly coated.

5- Toast the Bread:

Spread Italian garlic butter on each slice of bread.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Toast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) or a skillet until golden brown and crispy.

6- Assemble the Sandwich:

On a toasted bread slice, layer Caesar salad, followed by crispy chicken tenderloins.
Drizzle garlic butter over the top of the chicken.
Top with another slice of toasted bread.
Serve immediately for the best crunch.
