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
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the garlic butter:

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, slightly melted
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan

For the Caesar dressing:

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 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 & pepper to taste

To assemble:

  • 4 hoagies or baguette rolls
  • 3–4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare chicken cutlets: Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2-3 thin cutlets to make a total of 4-6 pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together an egg with a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Panko. Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Fry chicken: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets in the hot oil for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  3. Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the slightly melted salted butter, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to form a spreadable garlic butter.
  4. Toast bread: Slice the hoagies or baguette rolls lengthwise and spread the prepared garlic butter evenly on the insides. Place the bread under a broiler or in a 450ºF oven for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is toasted and the garlic butter is melted and fragrant.
  5. Make Caesar dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl or mason jar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Toss lettuce: In a large salad bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with 3-4 tablespoons of the prepared Caesar dressing until coated evenly.
  7. Assemble sandwich: Layer the toasted bread with crispy chicken cutlets, dressed romaine lettuce, and an extra grating of Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Panko breadcrumbs for extra crispy chicken cutlets.
  • Adjust garlic amount in garlic butter and dressing according to your preference.
  • For a lighter version, bake chicken cutlets instead of frying.
  • Anchovy paste adds authentic Caesar flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Serve sandwiches immediately to avoid soggy bread.
