Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pound the chicken to 1/2-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
Set up a breading station with flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
Prep the salad components: chop romaine, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice red onion.
Slice the baked chicken and assemble the subs with dressing, romaine, chicken, tomatoes, onion, and capers.

Notes

Double-coat chicken for extra crunch. Use fresh Parmesan for best results.
