Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until smooth. Set aside a portion for dressing the romaine lettuce later.
  2. Pound chicken cutlets to 1/2 inch thick and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Set up three plates for breading: one with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with a blend of panko and regular breadcrumbs mixed with herbs and spices.
  4. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat oil in a large frying pan until it reaches 350-360°F. Fry chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack.
  6. Slice the baguettes or ciabatta, spread reserved Caesar dressing on the insides, layer with chicken, chopped romaine, and extra Parmesan. Top with the other half of the bread.
