Coat
Season the two 1 cm chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Put flour, beaten egg and panko in three shallow bowls. Coat each cutlet in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg and press into panko.Fry
Heat the sunflower oil in a deep-sided 20 cm frying pan to 170–175°C / 340–350°F. Carefully fry one cutlet at a time for 3–4 minutes per side, adjusting for thickness, until golden and the thickest part reaches 74°C / 165°F. Adjust heat to avoid burning the coating. Drain on a wire rack while cooking the second cutlet.Toast and toss
Meanwhile, split and toast the ciabatta. Tear the dry romaine and toss with Caesar dressing, lemon juice and half the parmesan just before assembling.Build
Place a crispy chicken cutlet on each toasted roll bottom. Add dressed romaine and remaining parmesan. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.
