Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken breast, Caesar dressing, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing and seasonings for optimal flavor.
- Fold in Lettuce: Just before serving, gently fold the chopped romaine lettuce into the chicken mixture to maintain its crispness and add a fresh texture to the sandwich filling.
- Toast the Buns: Toast the sandwich rolls or brioche buns until they are lightly golden and slightly crispy to provide a sturdy base and enhance flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted roll. Add any optional toppings such as crispy bacon, tomato slices, or extra Parmesan for added taste and texture.
- Serve: Place the top half of the bun over the filling and serve the sandwiches immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp ingredients at their best.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe and saves preparation time.
- For a lower-carb option, serve the chicken Caesar mixture in lettuce wraps or over a bed of greens instead of sandwich rolls.
