Ingredients

For the Chicken Cutlets:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 egg, whisked with a splash of milk
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, slightly melted
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

For the Caesar Dressing:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

To Assemble:

  • 4 hoagies or baguettes
  • 3-4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken Cutlets: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into 4-6 thin cutlets. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Panko. Dip each chicken cutlet first into the egg mixture, then press into the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.
  2. Fry Chicken Cutlets: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  3. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the slightly melted butter, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and finely grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
  4. Toast Bread: Split the hoagie or baguette rolls lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the cut sides. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 450ºF oven or under a broiler for 3-4 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Prepare Caesar Dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl or mason jar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Toss Romaine Lettuce: In a large salad bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with 3-4 tablespoons of the prepared Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
  7. Assemble Sandwich: Layer the toasted garlic bread with crispy chicken cutlets, the dressed romaine lettuce, and an extra grating of Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its best.

Notes

  • You can use either sour cream or Greek yogurt in the dressing for a tangy flavor.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic taste, reduce the amount of garlic in the garlic butter and dressing.
  • To make the chicken extra crispy, use a mix of Panko and regular breadcrumbs as suggested.
  • Watch the bread closely when toasting under the broiler to prevent it from burning.
  • This sandwich is best served fresh; the bread and chicken will lose their crispness if left too long.
