Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Chop the romaine hearts into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with reserved Caesar dressing, tossing gently.
Pound the chicken cutlets until evenly thick. Season with salt and black pepper.
Create a breading station with bowls of seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and panko-breadcrumb mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 175-180°C (350-360°F).
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko-breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the coated chicken cutlets until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Slice the baguettes, spread Caesar dressing on both sides, layer with crispy chicken cutlets, and top with prepared romaine and grated Parmesan cheese.
