Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.3333 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 slices Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips or pieces.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Lightly butter the insides of the ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread. Place them on a baking sheet, buttered side down.
In a small bowl, mix the Caesar dressing with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Spread a generous layer of the Caesar-Parmesan mixture onto the non-buttered side of the bread.
Layer the sliced chicken onto the bread, followed by a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven. If desired, top with a romaine lettuce leaf for added crunch.
Close the sandwiches with the other half of the bread and serve warm. Enjoy your Caesar Chicken Melt!
