Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich
  1. Prepare the Caesar Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets: Pound the boneless, skinless chicken cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch and season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Set Up the Breading Station: Mix flour, smoked paprika, and salt in one dish; beat eggs in another, and combine panko breadcrumbs with herbs in the third.
  4. Heat the Oil for Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan to 175-180°C (350-360°F) and test oil readiness with breadcrumbs.
  5. Bread and Fry the Chicken: Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in panko before frying for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread Caesar dressing on sliced baguettes, layer chicken cutlets, romaine lettuce, and extra Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve Immediately: Serve the sandwich right away for best crunch and pair with fries or a salad.
