Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Stir in Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Refrigerate the dressing while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Chop the romaine hearts into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add several tablespoons of the homemade dressing, tossing gently until coated, and refrigerate.
  3. Pound chicken cutlets evenly until about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  4. Set up a breading station with flour in the first bowl, whisked eggs in the second, and a mixture of panko and breadcrumbs in the third.
  5. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
  7. Slice the baguette in half, spread dressing on both sides, layer with chicken cutlet, salad, and extra Parmesan cheese. Close, press gently, and serve.

Notes

Frying chicken cutlets in batches helps maintain oil temperature, ensuring optimal crispiness. Allow fried cutlets to rest on a wire rack before assembling. For a healthier option, bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
