On a cutting board, slice the chicken breasts horizontally into 4-6 thin cutlets. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Split the hoagies or baguettes in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture on the inside of each half. Place in a 450ºF oven or under a broiler until toasted (about 3-4 minutes).

Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl or mason jar until smooth.
