Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Pound the chicken cutlets to ½ inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare a three-bowl breading station: one for flour and paprika, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko crumbs and herbs.
  4. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, dip in eggs, then coat with panko crumbs.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Slice the baguettes in half and spread Caesar dressing on each half. Add the chicken cutlet and romaine before topping with the other half.
  7. Serve the sandwiches immediately for the best taste and texture.
