In a small bowl whisk an egg with a splash of milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs. Bread your chicken by dipping it into the eggs then breadcrumbs, and fry in a shallow pan in 1-inch deep oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy (about 5 minutes), set aside on a paper towel-lined pan.
- Prepare the garlic butter and toast bread. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the garlic butter. Split your bread in half lengthwise, Spread the garlic butter on each half from inside. Place in a 450ºF oven or under a broiler to toast (about 3-4 minutes).
- Make the dressing and toss the salad. Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl or mason jar. In a large salad bowl, toss 3-4 tablespoons of the dressing with the chopped romaine.
- Assemble the sandwiches. When ready to serve, build the sandwich by layering chicken cutlets, salad, and extra grating of parmesan cheese on the bread. Enjoy immediately!
