Description
A delicious chicken Caesar sandwich with a crispy brioche bun, tender chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, crisp lettuce, and Parmesan cheese. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a picnic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 4 brioche buns
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, or avocado
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
- Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Toast the brioche buns lightly in the oven or on a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes, until golden and slightly crispy.
- Prepare the Caesar dressing if making from scratch—whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste until smooth.
- Slice the cooked chicken into thin pieces or shred it, depending on your preference.
- Layer the bottom half of each brioche bun with a generous amount of Caesar dressing.
- Top with a handful of fresh romaine lettuce for crunch.
- Add the sliced or shredded chicken on top of the lettuce.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
- Optional: Add sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, or avocado for an extra burst of flavor.
- Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing on the top half of the brioche bun and place it over the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
[‘Let the chicken rest after cooking to lock in juices before slicing.’, ‘Use a thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.’, ‘Lightly toast brioche buns to add structure and prevent sogginess.’, ‘Don’t skimp on the Caesar dressing—it’s the star of the show.’, ‘Marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking for extra flavor.’]
