Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy, and refrigerate until ready.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Pound uneven cutlets to 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: flour mixture, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan to 175–180°C (350–360°F). Use a breadcrumb test to check readiness.
  5. Dredge each seasoned chicken cutlet in flour, then egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  6. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on wire rack.
  7. Slice the French baguettes, spread reserved Caesar dressing, and layer with chicken cutlet and dressed romaine lettuce. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
  8. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately while warm. Pair with fries or salad.
