Instructions

Step 1: Make the Caesar Dressing

1. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.

2. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Tip: This dressing makes more than needed, so store the extra in an airtight container in the fridge for salads or other meals throughout the week!

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Bread

1. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic, and parsley until well combined.

2. Spread the mixture evenly on the inside of each hoagie bun.

3. Place the buns on a baking sheet and broil on low for 8–10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!

Step 3: Cook the Crispy Chicken

1. Filet each chicken breast in half and pound them out until thin.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. On a separate plate, add the panko breadcrumbs.

4. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, then coat evenly in the panko breadcrumbs.

5. Heat a skillet with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

6. Fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

7. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with a couple of spoonfuls of Caesar dressing until well coated.

2. Take your toasted hoagie bun and spread a layer of Caesar dressing on the bottom half.

3. Place a crispy chicken cutlet on top.

4. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the dressed romaine lettuce.

5. Sprinkle with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

6. Close the sandwich, slice in half, and enjoy!
