  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 chicken cutlets
  • ½ cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1-2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Oil (for frying)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup panko crumbs
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 romaine hearts (chopped)
  • 1-2 French baguettes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caesar dressing by mixing mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, a substitute for Worcestershire sauce (like vinegar), lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt until smooth.
  2. Pour 4-5 tablespoons of this dressing into a medium bowl with chopped romaine lettuce. Cover and refrigerate separately.
  3. Lay chicken cutlets on a cutting board, pound them to an even thickness, and season with salt and ground black pepper.
  4. Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: mix flour, salt, and smoked paprika in the first; whisk eggs with salt in the second; combine panko crumbs, breadcrumbs, parsley, black pepper, sea salt, oregano, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan in the third.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, and press into the breadcrumb mix. Repeat for all cutlets.
  6. Once the oil is hot, fry each cutlet until golden brown and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  7. Slice baguettes open, spread with Caesar dressing, layer with crispy chicken cutlet, and topped with dressed romaine salad.
  8. Serve immediately.
