Description
A crispy and savory sandwich featuring sliced cooked chicken, crunchy romaine, tangy Caesar dressing, and Parmesan, all between toasted crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 2 slices crusty bread (ciabatta, sourdough, or country loaf)
- 1 cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced (rotisserie, grilled, or pan-seared)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped and very well-drained
- 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread until golden and slightly crisp. Let cool briefly.
- Spread 1–2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing evenly on one slice of toasted bread.
- Layer the thinly sliced cooked chicken over the dressed slice.
- Pile the chopped romaine on top of the chicken and remove excess water.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the lettuce and chicken.
- Add grated or shaved Parmesan if desired.
- Place the second slice of toasted bread on top, press gently, and cut the sandwich in half. Serve immediately.
Notes
Assemble the sandwich just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use thicker-cut slices of bread for a heartier sandwich.
