Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 egg, whisked with a splash of milk
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Panko
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Garlic-Parmesan Butter:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, slightly melted
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan
For the Caesar Dressing:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembly:
- 4 hoagies or baguettes
- 3–4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken breasts by slicing or pounding them into evenly sized pieces. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of milk.
- In another shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Panko, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, turning as needed. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly.
- In a small bowl, combine the slightly melted butter, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and ¼ cup Parmesan. Stir until combined.
- Brush or spoon the garlic-Parmesan butter mixture over the warm crispy chicken.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ½ cup mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, ¼ cup Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, and grated garlic. Mix until smooth.
- Season the Caesar dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chop or shred the romaine lettuce and pat it dry. Prepare the hoagie rolls or baguettes for filling.
- Spread Caesar dressing inside each roll. Add the crispy garlic-Parmesan chicken and top with romaine lettuce.
- Drizzle with additional Caesar dressing to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a tangy dressing.
- Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to keep the chicken crispy.
- Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
