Preparation Steps

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until shimmering. Fry the chicken cutlets for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, mayonnaise, parsley, and parmesan to create the garlic butter spread.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Split rolls and spread garlic butter on insides. Toast in oven for 3-4 minutes until golden.
Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic for the dressing.
Toss romaine lettuce with dressing, layer the fried chicken on toasted rolls, and top with dressed lettuce and extra parmesan if desired.
