Instructions

Preparing the Chicken

1
Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to create two thinner fillets. Lightly pound them with your hand.
2
Season the chicken with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sweet red paprika.
3
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with habanero salsa.
4
In a separate bowl, prepare the panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs).
5
Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko breadcrumbs. If you prefer a thicker coating, you can repeat the breading process.
6
Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and crispy.

Preparing the Caesar Sauce

1
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and spicy mustard.
2
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon, removing the seeds, and add to the sauce.
3
Add a pinch of sugar and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
4
Finely chop the anchovies and add them to the sauce.
5
Add the drained canned tuna (in water), flaking it with a fork.
6
Grate one large clove of garlic.
7
Add grated Parmesan cheese, a small amount of salt (remembering the saltiness of the anchovies), and freshly ground black pepper.
8
Thoroughly mix all the sauce ingredients, breaking them down firmly until a uniform consistency is achieved.

Preparing the Salad and Buns

1
Chop the romaine lettuce, then thoroughly combine it with the prepared Caesar sauce in a bowl.

Assembling the Caesar Burger

1
Spread butter on the burger buns and pan-fry them in a hot pan until lightly browned and crispy.

Place the cooked chicken on top of the salad.

Add a little more Caesar salad on top of the chicken.

Place a few slices of red onion.
7
Cover with the top half of the bun.
