Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Romaine lettuce– Roughly chopped
Chicken– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced. You could also substitute rotisserie chicken.
Salt and pepper– To taste
Olive oil
Rolls– Either ciabatta rolls or torta rolls. Toast them.
Parmesan cheese– Either grated or shredded
Red onion– Thinly sliced. This is optional but we like it!
Caesar dressing– You can use homemade Caesar dressing or your favorite storebought kind.

How to Make

Making grilled chicken Caesar sandwiches is pretty easy!

Start by tossing the romaine lettuce with 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing in a small bowl and set it aside.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the desired amount of salt and pepper.

Then heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat.

Cook the chicken in the preheat skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through, flipping once.

Let the fully cooked chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing across the grain.

Alternatively you can grill the chicken (for a more authentic taste), or use leftover grilled chicken.

Slice the rolls in half and toast the insides on the hot pan.

Then build the sandwiches by adding a layer of romaine lettuce, followed by slices of the grilled chicken, red onion, Parmesan cheese, and extra Caesar dressing.

Close the sandwiches and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

I don’t recommend storing leftover assembled sandwiches as they will get soggy if you store them for more than a few hours.

However, you can save any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips and Tricks

You can adjust the seasoning on the chicken to your liking and add Italian seasoning or anything else you like.
Not a fan of red onion? Skip it.
I like using a creamy Caesar for these sandwiches instead of a vinaigrette style Caesar dressing but you can use whatever you prefer.
