Description
A Chicken Caesar Sandwich is a quick and satisfying meal featuring juicy shredded chicken tossed in creamy Caesar dressing, served on a toasted bun with crisp romaine lettuce and Parmesan cheese. It's a handheld twist on the classic Caesar salad, ideal for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
1 tbsp olive oil (for toasting buns)
4 sandwich buns or hoagie rolls
1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
Extra Caesar dressing and Parmesan for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice, and chili flakes. Stir until well mixed and the chicken is fully coated.
- Slice the sandwich buns and brush the insides with olive oil.
- Toast the buns in a pan or under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Place shredded romaine lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Spoon a generous amount of the Caesar chicken mixture onto the lettuce.
- Optional: Drizzle with extra Caesar dressing and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
For a spicy kick, add more chili flakes or use spicy Caesar dressing.
Switch up the greens with arugula or baby spinach for a different flavor.
For extra crunch, top with crispy bacon or crushed croutons.
Use whole wheat or ciabatta buns for a heartier sandwich.
Store the chicken mixture separately from the buns and lettuce to avoid sogginess.
