Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 grilled chicken breast, seasoned
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 slices ciabatta or artisan bread
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Grill or pan-sear until fully cooked and nicely browned. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly for the sandwich.
  2. Toss the Romaine: Thoroughly wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Gently toss them with Caesar dressing, fresh lemon juice, and cracked black pepper until lightly coated, taking care to avoid sogginess.
  3. Toast the Bread: Slice the ciabatta or artisan bread and toast lightly until golden and crisp on the edges. This adds texture and prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of toasted bread, layer the sliced grilled chicken generously, followed by the dressed romaine lettuce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then top with the second slice of bread. Press lightly and slice in half to serve.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
  • Make homemade Caesar dressing for fresher taste and ingredient control.
  • Ensure lettuce is dry to keep the sandwich crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Use sturdy bread like ciabatta or artisan to maintain sandwich structure.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
