Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich
  1. Make the Caesar Dressing by whisking together full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy.
  2. Prepare the Romaine by chopping romaine hearts into bite-sized pieces, drizzling with dressing, tossing gently, then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Pound chicken cutlets to even thickness and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Set up the Breading Station with flour mixed with salt and paprika, beaten eggs, and panko crumbs mixed with herbs and spices.
  5. Fry the chicken cutlets in oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches by slicing baguettes, spreading reserved dressing, adding crispy chicken cutlets, and topping with dressed romaine.
  7. Serve immediately for the best experience.
