Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Reserve a portion for tossing with chopped romaine later. Refrigerate the dressing and romaine to let flavors meld.
  2. Ensure chicken cutlets are evenly trimmed to about 1/2 inch thick. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. Arrange three shallow plates: one with flour seasoned with salt, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko crumbs mixed with Italian seasoning.
  4. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat with vegetable oil at 175-180°C (350-360°F). Dredge chicken cutlets in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko crumbs. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
  5. Slice baguettes horizontally to create a pocket. Spread reserved Caesar dressing inside each half. Add crispy chicken cutlet and dressed romaine hearts. Optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Serve sandwiches immediately with crunchy french fries or a light salad.

Notes

Assemble sandwiches right before serving to maintain freshness. Toast baguettes slightly if not serving immediately to absorb moisture without losing crunch.
