Instructions
1. In a bowl, prepare the Caesar dressing by mixing all ingredients. Stir until smooth and creamy. Take 4-5 tablespoons of this dressing and mix it with the chopped romaine lettuce in a medium bowl. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate.
2. Lay the chicken cutlets on a cutting board. Pound if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Set up the breading station with flour mixture, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat oil over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Fry until golden and crispy. Drain on a rack.
5. Slice baguettes into portions and open lengthwise. Spread dressing, add chicken, romaine salad, and grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crunch, toast the baguette lightly.
Keep components separate if preparing ahead.
Freeze cooked or uncooked breaded chicken for later use.
Food safety: if you cook the chicken yourself, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA and Health Canada.
