Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup full-fat mayonnaise, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and the juice of half a fresh lemon. Add in ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 minced garlic cloves, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy, then set aside a small portion of the dressing to spread on the baguette later.
- Take 2 cups of chopped romaine hearts and place them in a bowl. Add the remaining dressing and gently toss until the lettuce is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
- Take 2 chicken cutlets and pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Gather three shallow dishes and place ½ cup all-purpose flour in the first, whisk together 2 eggs in the second, and in the third, combine 1 cup panko crumbs with any additional seasonings.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and press into the panko crumbs. Ensure an even covering.
- Heat ½ inch of oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Check that internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Slice a French baguette in half and spread a layer of the reserved Caesar dressing on both sides. Add crispy chicken cutlets and the dressed romaine mixture.
- Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top, close the sandwich, and serve immediately.

Notes
Assemble the sandwich just before serving to prevent sogginess. Lightly toasting the bread adds extra crunch.
