Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing your chicken breasts horizontally to create 4-6 thin cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip each chicken cutlet in the mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Prepare garlic butter by mixing softened butter with minced garlic and parsley. Spread on the split sides of hoagies and toast in the oven for 3-4 minutes.
  5. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth and creamy; add parmesan.
  6. Layer crispy chicken on toasted garlic bread, add romaine lettuce, and drizzle with Caesar dressing. Serve immediately.
