Method
 

Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt to taste. Whisk until smoothly blended. Set aside a portion of the dressing for the romaine lettuce.
  2. Pound chicken cutlets to an even thickness of about ½ inch. Season with salt and black pepper and let rest.
  3. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with seasoned flour, a second with beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs combined with Parmesan cheese and smoked paprika.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. Fry for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
  5. Slice the baguette in half. Spread reserved dressing on both sides. Place crispy chicken inside, top with Caesar-dressed romaine, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
