2 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1–2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch of sea salt

Chicken:

Oil for frying

Flour Mixture:

⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp smoked paprika

Egg Mixture:

2 eggs
¼ tsp salt

¾ cup panko crumbs
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp dried parsley
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Assembly:

1–2 French baguettes
Extra Parmesan cheese, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Make the Caesar dressing:
In a bowl, combine mayo, yogurt, mustard, Worcestershire, lemon juice, Parmesan, garlic, pepper, and salt. Stir until creamy. Set aside 4–5 tablespoons and mix with chopped romaine. Chill both separately. 🥬
Prep the chicken:
Flatten cutlets to even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Bread the chicken:
Set up three shallow bowls. One with flour, salt, and paprika; another with beaten eggs and salt; and a third with panko, breadcrumbs, herbs, spices, and Parmesan.
Fry the cutlets:
Heat oil in a pan over medium. Dredge chicken through flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Fry 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain on a rack. 🔥
Assemble the sandwich:
Slice baguettes into 5″ pieces and cut open. Spread Caesar dressing, top with crispy chicken, Caesar salad, and extra Parmesan. Close and serve warm! 🥖

💡 Pro Tips:

Storage: Store leftover fried chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to keep it crispy.
Substitutions: Swap Greek yogurt for sour cream, or use store-bought Caesar dressing in a pinch.
Meal Prep: You can fry the chicken in advance and store it separately. Assemble just before serving.
Serving Ideas: Serve with seasoned fries, pickles, or a side of pasta salad for a full meal.
