03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

06 - 1/3 cup mayonnaise
07 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
09 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
10 - 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
11 - 1 clove garlic, minced

→ Sandwich Assembly

# Directions:

01 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
02 - Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

04 - While chicken grills, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, and minced garlic in a small bowl to make dressing.
05 - Butter the cut sides of the rolls and toast on grill or pan until golden.
06 - Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on each roll. Top with shredded romaine, sliced chicken, shaved Parmesan, and cherry tomatoes if desired.
07 - Close sandwiches, slice in half, and serve immediately.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The dressing comes together in under two minutes and keeps in the fridge for a week
  • Everything can be prepped ahead and assembled right before eating
  • Its practically mess free compared to a traditional Caesar salad
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is crucial or the juices will run out onto your cutting board
  • Toasting the rolls creates a barrier that prevents soggy bread
  • Shave the Parmesan with a vegetable peeler for those thin, elegant curls
03 -
  • Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness before grilling for more uniform cooking
  • Add crispy bacon or sliced avocado for an indulgent twist
