Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Salad
- 2 boneless, skinless grilled chicken breasts
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup crushed garlic croutons
Bread
- 2 sandwich rolls or baguette
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a bit of oil to prepare for toasting the bread.
- Chop Ingredients: While the pan is heating, chop the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces, chop the romaine lettuce, and crush the garlic croutons.
- Toast the Bread: Place the sandwich rolls or baguette halves in the hot pan and toast lightly for about 2 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Mix the Salad: In a bowl, combine the chopped chicken, chopped lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Toss well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto one half of each toasted roll.
- Seal the Sandwiches: Place the other half of the bread on top and press down gently to close the sandwiches.
- Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately for best freshness, or pack them for a convenient and tasty lunch on the go.
Notes
- You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken as a shortcut instead of grilling your own.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the salad mixture.
- Substitute gluten-free rolls to make the sandwich gluten free.
- Use low-fat Caesar dressing for a lighter version.
- Garlic croutons add crunch but can be omitted for a softer texture.
