Dressing Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk together until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside a portion of the dressing for drizzling over the assembled sandwich.
Chicken Preparation

  2. Prepare three shallow bowls with flour mixture, whisked eggs, and panko breadcrumb mixture for breading.
