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
  • 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 Components

  • 4 hoagies or baguette rolls
  • 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 bowl, whisk together the egg, a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Panko. Dip each chicken cutlet first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Fry the Chicken: Heat about one inch of vegetable oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Fry each breaded chicken cutlet for approximately 5 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to keep crispy.
  3. Make Garlic Butter and Toast Bread: In a small bowl, mix the slightly melted butter, mayo, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Slice the bread rolls lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture inside each half. Place the bread under a broiler or in a 450°F oven for 3-4 minutes until toasted and fragrant.
  4. Prepare Caesar Dressing and Salad: Whisk together the mayo, sour cream or Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl or mason jar. Toss 3-4 tablespoons of this dressing with the chopped romaine lettuce in a large bowl until well coated.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer the crispy chicken cutlets on the toasted bread, followed by the dressed romaine lettuce. Finish with an extra sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwiches at their best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Be sure to use enough oil to fry the chicken cutlets evenly and achieve a crispy crust.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic in the garlic butter and dressing to suit your taste preferences.
  • The anchovy paste in the dressing lends authentic Caesar flavor but can be omitted for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Use fresh hoagie rolls or baguettes for optimal sandwich texture.
  • To make the sandwich lighter, opt for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the dressing.
  • Leftover chicken cutlets can be refrigerated and used in salads or wraps the next day.
