# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy. Mix 60-75 ml of dressing with chopped romaine in a separate bowl. Cover both the salad and remaining dressing separately and refrigerate.
02 -
Even out chicken cutlet thickness by gently pounding with a meat mallet. Season both sides with sea salt and ground black pepper.
03 -
Arrange three shallow dishes: one with flour, salt, and smoked paprika; second with eggs beaten with salt; third with panko, breadcrumbs, parsley, black pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and Parmesan.
04 -
Dredge each cutlet in flour mixture, shake off excess, dip in egg mixture, then press firmly into breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
05 -
Heat oil over medium heat until hot (breadcrumbs sizzle on contact). Fry cutlets in batches, about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
06 -
Slice baguettes into 12 cm sections and cut open lengthwise. Spread reserved Caesar dressing, top with crispy chicken cutlet, then Caesar salad. Garnish with extra Parmesan, close sandwiches, and serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For even cooking, ensure chicken cutlets are pounded to uniform thickness.
