Method

Step 1: Prepare Chicken

Thinly slice chicken breasts into cutlets. Whisk together an egg, splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set up a second bowl with breadcrumbs and panko. Dip each cutlet into egg mixture, coat with breadcrumbs, and fry in heated vegetable oil until golden brown.

Step 2: Make Garlic Butter Bread

Mix melted salted butter, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese until smooth. Spread garlic butter mixture on hoagie rolls or baguette, toast in oven at 450°F for 3-4 minutes or until golden.

Step 3: Prepare Dressing

Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Assemble Sandwiches

Layer chicken cutlets on toasted garlic butter bread, spoon chopped romaine lettuce tossed in Caesar dressing over chicken, and top with the other half of the bread.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately while warm. Pair with potato chips, sweet potato fries, or a simple garden salad.

Notes

Crispy Chicken should be fried right after coating for maximum crispiness. Ensure oil is at 350°F. Assemble sandwiches just before serving to prevent sogginess.
