Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine full-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, freshly grated Parmesan, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy, set aside a portion for the lettuce, and refrigerate.
  2. Flatten the chicken cutlets evenly using a meat mallet, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare a breading station with flour mixed with smoked paprika and salt in one bowl, whisked eggs in another, and a mix of panko, regular breadcrumbs, and herbs in a third.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C). Test readiness with breadcrumbs.
  5. Dredge each cutlet in the flour mixture, dip in the egg wash, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  7. Slice the French baguette and spread reserved dressing on both halves. Layer with crispy chicken and dressed romaine.
  8. Serve immediately with sides like fries or a salad.

Notes

Assemble sandwiches right before serving to keep baguette crusty. Toasting can add crunch. Store dressing and greens separately to maintain freshness.
