Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but you can adjust the amount depending on how many people you’re feeding.

  • Fresh Romaine Lettuce: Crisp and vibrant romaine lettuce adds crunch and freshness to each bite.

  • Caesar Dressing: Opt for the homemade version if you’re feeling adventurous; it takes the flavor up a notch!

  • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated cheese brings a salty richness that perfectly complements the other flavors.

  • Soft Sandwich Buns: Choose buns that can hold all those tasty fillings without falling apart.

  • Olive Oil: A drizzle of olive oil enhances the chicken’s juiciness and adds flavor during cooking.

For seasoning:

  • Salt and Pepper: Essential for enhancing all the flavors in your sandwich; don’t skip these!

  • Garlic Powder: A pinch of garlic powder elevates the taste and gives it that extra kick.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Chicken: Start by seasoning your boneless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil over them before grilling or pan-searing until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Sauté Those Greens!: While the chicken cooks, wash and chop your romaine lettuce. You want it bright green and ready to provide that crunchy contrast in each bite.

Create Your Sauce Magic!: If making homemade Caesar dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Adjust seasoning as desired.

Grill It Up!: Grill the seasoned chicken on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown. Let it rest before slicing; this keeps it juicy!

Assemble Your Sandwiches!: On each bun bottom, layer sliced chicken breast followed by romaine lettuce and generous dollops of Caesar dressing. Top with more Parmesan if you dare!

Add That Bun Top!: Finally, place your bun tops gently over everything. Serve immediately while it’s warm and inviting—your taste buds will thank you!
