  • 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1-2 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Chicken:
  • 5 chicken cutlets
  • sea salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Flour Mixture:
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Egg Mixture:
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Breadcrumbs Mixture:
  • ¾ cup panko crumbs
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Assembly:
  • 2 romaine hearts chopped
  • 1-2 French baguettes
  • Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Caesar dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Season chicken cutlets with sea salt and ground black pepper. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and smoked paprika. In another bowl, beat eggs with salt. In a third shallow dish, combine panko crumbs, breadcrumbs, dried parsley, black pepper, sea salt, dried oregano, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, tapping off excess. Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture. Coat the chicken thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each chicken cutlet until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Slice French baguettes lengthwise and lightly toast them if desired. Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing on both sides of the bread. Layer chopped romaine on the bottom half of the baguette. Place crispy chicken cutlets on top of the romaine. Add freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken. Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette. Slice the sandwich into servings and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumb mixtures. Use fresh garlic in the dressing for more pungent flavor. Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat chicken separately for best texture.
