Ingredients

Caesar Dressing

½ cup full-fat mayonnaise

3 tbsp Greek yogurt

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp lemon juice

¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

1–2 garlic cloves (minced)

¼ tsp black pepper

Pinch sea salt

Chicken

5 chicken cutlets (see notes)

Sea salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

Oil, for frying

Breading Station

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

½ tsp salt

¾ tsp smoked paprika

2 eggs

¼ tsp salt

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

¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

For Assembly

2 romaine hearts (chopped)

1–2 French baguettes

Parmesan cheese (freshly grated, for serving)

Instructions

Make the Caesar dressing
In a bowl, combine all dressing ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy. Remove 4–5 tablespoons and toss with the chopped romaine lettuce in a separate bowl. Cover and refrigerate both the salad and remaining dressing separately.

Prepare the chicken
Place chicken cutlets on a cutting board. Pound gently if uneven in thickness. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

Set up breading station

Plate 1: flour, salt, smoked paprika

Plate 2: eggs whisked with salt

Plate 3: panko, breadcrumbs, parsley, black pepper, sea salt, oregano, garlic powder, and Parmesan

Bread the chicken
Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip into eggs, then press firmly into breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all cutlets.

Fry
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Assemble sandwiches
Cut baguettes into 12 cm (5-inch) pieces and slice open. Spread Caesar dressing on the bread, add crispy chicken, top with Caesar salad, and sprinkle with extra Parmesan. Close and serve immediately.

Notes

Chicken cutlets: If unavailable, slice chicken breasts horizontally into even cutlets.

For extra crunch, avoid pressing the chicken down while frying.

Best served fresh, but dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance.
