Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Grill the bread in a skillet until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Slice the chicken into even strips.
Chop the romaine lettuce, toss with Caesar dressing.
