Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth and creamy, mixing for about 1-2 minutes. Reserve a portion for tossing with romaine later.
  2. Pound chicken cutlets between plastic wrap to an even thickness, season with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg wash, and coat with breadcrumbs. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Slice the baguette in half, spread Caesar dressing on both sides. Layer crispy chicken cutlets, then add chopped romaine dressed with reserved dressing, top with additional Parmesan if desired.
  5. Serve the sandwich immediately after assembling for optimal crunch. Optionally, toast the baguette halves before adding ingredients.
