Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1 egg whisked with a splash of milk
¼ teaspoon each: garlic powder, salt, pepper
½ cup breadcrumbs
½ cup Panko
Vegetable oil for frying
4 Tablespoons salted butter
2 Tablespoons mayo
2-3 cloves garlic
2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan
½ cup mayo
¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic
Salt & pepper, to taste
4 hoagies or baguette
3-4 cups romaine lettuce

Ingredients:
To start, prepare the chicken cutlets by slicing the chicken breasts in half or thirds horizontally, resulting in 4-6 thin cutlets. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs, and fry them in a shallow pan filled with 1-inch deep vegetable oil over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 5 minutes. Once cooked, place the cutlets on a paper towel-lined pan to drain excess oil. Next, prepare the garlic butter by combining all the garlic butter ingredients in a small bowl. Slice the hoagies or baguette in half lengthwise, and spread the garlic butter mixture on the inside of each half. Toast them in a preheated oven at 450ºF or under a broiler for about 3-4 minutes until golden. In a separate bowl or mason jar, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing. In a large salad bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with 3-4 tablespoons of the dressing until well coated. When ready to assemble the sandwich, layer the crispy chicken cutlets on the toasted bread, add the salad on top, and finish with extra grating of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
