Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Croutons (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook the chicken breasts on the grill pan for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, tear or chop the romaine lettuce into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
Add grated Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing to the bowl with the lettuce. Toss until the lettuce is evenly coated. If desired, add croutons for extra crunch.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and spread the cut sides with unsalted butter. Place them on a hot skillet or grill pan to lightly toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering the Caesar salad mixture on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll, followed by sliced grilled chicken.
Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll and serve immediately. Optionally, secure each sandwich with a toothpick for easier handling.
