Start by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or grill pan and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, lightly butter the sandwich buns if desired and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice each breast if needed to fit onto the sandwich buns.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place a piece of grilled chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a romaine lettuce leaf, a slice or two of tomato, and a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese.
Spread more Caesar dressing on the top half of each bun if desired, then place it on top of the sandwich.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Caesar Grilled Chicken Sandwiches!
