Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pound chicken cutlets between plastic wrap to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with shallow plates: one with flour and paprika, one with whisked eggs, and one with panko crumbs mixed with herbs.
  4. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then coat in panko crumbs. Set aside.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 175-180°C (350-360°F). Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  6. Slice baguettes in half lengthwise and spread homemade Caesar dressing on both sides. Add crispy chicken and dressed romaine hearts.
  7. Close sandwiches and serve immediately while chicken is warm and crispy.
