Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Whisk until creamy and well-blended, reserving some for tossing with romaine.
  2. Pound chicken cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in the last.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip in eggs, and coat with panko. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Slice baguettes in half and spread reserved Caesar dressing on both sides. Layer with crispy chicken cutlet and dressed romaine, sprinkling extra Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Serve immediately while warm and crispy, enjoying the delightful contrast of textures.
