Instructions
- Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin cutlets for even cooking. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, then add garlic powder, salt, and pepper for seasoning.
- In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully add the breaded chicken cutlets, frying them for about 5 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the garlic butter by mixing softened butter with minced garlic. Split open the hoagies or baguette, and spread the garlic butter inside.
- Toast them in a preheated oven at 450°F or under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until golden and aromatic.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, and finely grated Parmesan. Whisk until smooth.
- Layer each toasted bread piece with a crispy chicken cutlet, toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing and add it atop the chicken. Sprinkle extra Parmesan before closing.
- Cut each sandwich in half for easy handling and serve them warm.
