Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved or grated)
- 0.5 cup Caesar salad dressing
- 4 slices Ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper, and pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to create a marinade.
Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture on both sides, ensuring they are fully coated.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, lightly butter the ciabatta rolls or slices of bread on one side.
Toast the bread on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Slice the rested chicken breasts thinly against the grain.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading Caesar dressing evenly on the toasted bread.
Layer romaine lettuce leaves, sliced chicken, and shaved parmesan cheese on the bottom piece of bread. Top with the other slice to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
