Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt until smooth.
  2. Save a portion of the dressing for later; mix in chopped romaine lettuce and refrigerate to let the flavors meld while you prep the chicken cutlets.
  3. Place chicken cutlets between plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about half an inch.
  4. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with whisked eggs, and a third with a mix of panko and regular breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  7. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, and coat in breadcrumbs, then fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Slice baguettes in half, spread Caesar dressing, place fried chicken cutlet, top with dressed romaine lettuce, and sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese.
