Ingredients

Scale

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

Garlic Butter

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

Caesar Dressing

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 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

Sandwich Assembly

  • 4 hoagie rolls or baguette, split lengthwise
  • 3–4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into 4-6 thin cutlets. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and panko. Dip each chicken cutlet first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping as needed. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter and Toast Bread: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, mayo, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese to create the garlic butter spread. Split the hoagie rolls or baguettes lengthwise and spread the garlic butter evenly on the inside of each half. Place the bread halves in a preheated 450°F oven or under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until toasted and golden.
  3. Prepare the Caesar Dressing and Salad: Whisk all the dressing ingredients — mayo, sour cream or Greek yogurt, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper — in a bowl or mason jar until well combined. Toss 3-4 tablespoons of this dressing with the chopped romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl until the leaves are evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: To build the sandwiches, layer the fried chicken cutlets on the bottom half of each toasted bread. Top with a generous portion of the dressed romaine lettuce and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread and serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken cutlets are thin and even for quick, crispy frying.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in both the dressing and garlic butter.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the dressing.
  • Be cautious under the broiler as bread can toast quickly and burn if left unattended.
  • Anchovy paste is essential for authentic Caesar flavor, but you may omit it for a milder version.
