Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup full-fat mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1–2 garlic cloves (minced)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Pinch sea salt
- 5 chicken cutlets
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
- Oil (for frying)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 eggs
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup panko crumbs
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 2 romaine hearts (chopped)
- 1–2 French baguettes
Instructions
- In a bowl, prepare the Caesar dressing by mixing mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.
- Take 4-5 tablespoons of the dressing and mix it with the chopped romaine lettuce. Cover and refrigerate both the salad and the remaining dressing separately.
- Evenly pound the chicken cutlets if they are uneven in thickness and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
- Set up three shallow plates for breading: mix flour, salt, and smoked paprika in the first; whisk eggs with a little salt in the second; combine panko, breadcrumbs, parsley, pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan in the third.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, and coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry the chicken cutlets in hot oil until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on a wire rack.
- Slice the baguettes into 12 cm portions and cut open lengthwise. Spread a layer of Caesar dressing inside, place a crispy chicken cutlet, top with Caesar salad, and sprinkle extra Parmesan. Close the sandwiches and serve hot.
Notes
Consider adding crispy bacon or avocado for added richness. For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying.
