Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Filling

  • 1 to 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped (grilled or rotisserie)
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, washed, dried, and chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing (creamy, flavorful)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup croutons, crushed (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

For Assembly

  • 2 to 4 slices sandwich bread or crusty baguette (soft or toasted as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Chop cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. If unseasoned, toss lightly with salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil to enhance flavor.
  2. Chop the Romaine: Wash and thoroughly dry fresh romaine lettuce, then chop finely to provide a crisp texture that blends well into the sandwich.
  3. Toss Ingredients Together: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, chopped romaine, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Add Caesar dressing and lemon juice, then toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly without crushing the croutons.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the chicken Caesar salad mixture evenly over your choice of bread slices. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan or add a few whole croutons on top before closing the sandwich.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the sandwiches fresh to maintain the crunch of the croutons and the softness of the bread.

Notes

  • Use slightly warm chicken to better absorb the dressing and enhance flavors.
  • Pat romaine lettuce dry to prevent soggy sandwiches and preserve crunch.
  • Choose a high-quality Caesar dressing, ideally with real anchovies, or make your own for authentic taste.
  • Toss ingredients gently to keep croutons crunchy and lettuce fresh.
  • Toast the bread lightly if you prefer added texture and flavor depth.
