Ingredients

For the Chicken:
2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise to make 4 cutlets
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwich:
4 sandwich rolls ciabatta, baguette, or croissants
½ cup Caesar dressing homemade or store-bought
2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Optional: cooked bacon strips tomato slices, or avocado

Method

Cook the chicken
Season chicken cutlets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grill, pan-sear, or bake until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F/74°C). Set aside.
Prepare the bread
Toast the sandwich rolls lightly for structure. Spread Caesar dressing on both sides of the bread.
Assemble the sandwich
Layer romaine lettuce, chicken, and shaved Parmesan cheese.
Add bacon, tomato, or avocado if desired.
Drizzle extra Caesar dressing on top before closing the sandwich.
Serve
Slice in half and serve warm with fries, chips, or a fresh salad.

Notes

For a crispy chicken sandwich, bread and fry the chicken instead of grilling.
Swap rolls for a buttery croissant sandwich for a more indulgent option.
Use whole-grain bread for a healthier twist.
Caesar dressing doubles as a great dip for sides.
