Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thinner cutlets for even cooking. Prepare a skillet over medium-high heat for frying.
  2. Breading the Chicken: Whisk egg with milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Combine breadcrumbs and Panko. Dip chicken into egg mixture then coat with breadcrumbs. Fry in vegetable oil for about 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter: Soften salted butter and stir in mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan for a flavor-packed spread; set aside while frying chicken.
  4. Toast the Bread: Preheat oven to 450°F. Slice hoagies/baguette and spread garlic butter on cut sides. Toast in the oven for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Prepare the Caesar Dressing: Combine sour cream or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, and grated garlic until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer crispy fried chicken on toasted garlic butter bread, top with tossed romaine lettuce and Caesar dressing. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Chicken Caesar Sandwiches warm for the best experience, optionally serve with chips or salad.
