  2. Whisk together egg and milk, then dip chicken cutlets in egg mixture and coat with breadcrumbs and panko.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan to create garlic butter.
  5. Spread garlic butter in split hoagies or baguette and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Mix dressing ingredients until smooth and set aside.
  7. Wash and chop lettuce, drizzle with Caesar dressing, and toss until evenly coated.
  8. Assemble sandwiches with crispy chicken, dressed romaine salad, and sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
