Instructions

1

Slice chicken breasts horizontally into 4 to 6 thin cutlets. In a shallow dish, beat the egg with a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a second dish, combine standard breadcrumbs and Panko. Coat chicken cutlets in egg mixture, press into breadcrumbs, and fry in 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

2

Prepare garlic butter by whisking melted butter, mayo, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and grated Parmesan. Slice bread rolls open and generously spread garlic butter over the inner halves. Toast in a 450ºF oven or broiler for 3 to 4 minutes until toasted.

3

Whisk 1/2 cup mayo, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Toss 3-4 tablespoons of dressing with chopped romaine in a large bowl.

4

Assemble sandwiches by placing warm fried chicken cutlets onto the toasted garlic rolls, layering generously with dressed Caesar salad, and sprinkling with extra grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake or air fry the chicken cutlets instead of frying in oil? Yes! To air fry, spray breaded cutlets generously with cooking spray and cook at 390°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. To bake, bake on a wire rack set over a baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 15-18 minutes until crispy and fully cooked. What is the best bread to use for a Crispy Chicken Caesar Sub Sandwich? Soft Italian hoagie rolls, french baguettes, or ciabatta rolls work fantastically well! Crustier breads like baguettes hold up nicely to heavy layers of salad and juice without collapsing. Can I make the Caesar dressing and cutlets in advance? You can prepare the Caesar dressing up to 5 days in advance and keep it refrigerated. For best results, fry the chicken fresh so it stays crispy, but you can reheat pre-cooked cutlets in an oven or air fryer before assembling.
