Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Cutlets
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 egg whisked with a splash of milk
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, slightly melted
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
For the Caesar Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembly
- 4 hoagies or baguette rolls
- 3–4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Cutlets: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into 4-6 thin cutlets on a flat surface. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Panko. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes total, turning as needed. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Garlic Butter and Toast the Bread: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Split the hoagie rolls lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the inside of each. Toast the bread in a 450ºF oven or under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and crisp.
- Prepare the Caesar Dressing and Salad: Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, and salt and pepper in a bowl or mason jar until smooth. Toss 3-4 tablespoons of the dressing with the chopped romaine lettuce in a large bowl to coat evenly.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Build the sandwiches by layering the crispy chicken cutlets on the bottom halves of the toasted hoagie rolls, followed by the dressed romaine salad, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can bake the chicken cutlets instead of frying.
- Anchovy paste is optional but adds authentic Caesar flavor.
- Use fresh Parmesan for the best taste in both the dressing and garlic butter.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the chicken and toasted bread.
- Leftover dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
