Instructions

Prepare the Caesar dressing by mixing all dressing ingredients in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Save 4-5 tablespoons of dressing to mix with chopped romaine lettuce. Refrigerate both separately.
Pound chicken cutlets to even thickness and season with salt and ground black pepper.
Set up a breading station: mix flour, salt, and smoked paprika in one plate; whisk eggs and salt in another; mix panko, breadcrumbs, parsley, pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and Parmesan in the third.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, then press into breadcrumb mixture.
Fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on a wire rack.
Slice baguettes and spread reserved Caesar dressing inside. Add a crispy chicken cutlet, Caesar salad, and extra Parmesan. Close and serve immediately.

Notes

Store components separately. Fried chicken lasts in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days; dressing for a week. Make fresh sandwiches to maintain crispiness.
