If you’re a fan of Caesar salad and crave a hearty, satisfying handheld meal, these Chicken Caesar Sandwiches are the best of both worlds.
For the Chicken Caesar Filling:
2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded, grilled, or rotisserie)
½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1–2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Sandwich Assembly:
4 sandwich buns, ciabatta rolls, hoagie buns, or crusty bread
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for toasting buns)
Optional: sliced tomato, red onion, or avocado
Optional Add-ins:
Croutons (for crunch)
Fresh herbs like parsley or basil
Shaved parmesan
Sliced hard-boiled eggs
Step 1 – Prepare the chicken
Use cooked shredded chicken breast (leftovers, rotisserie, or grilled). If cooking from scratch, season with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet until golden and fully cooked.
Step 2 – Mix the filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Caesar dressing, grated parmesan, and chopped romaine. Mix until evenly coated. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
Step 3 – Toast the buns
Slice your buns or rolls and brush lightly with olive oil or butter. Toast them on a skillet or in the oven until golden brown and slightly crispy. This adds flavor and helps hold the filling without becoming soggy.
Step 4 – Assemble the sandwiches
Spoon the chicken Caesar mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bun. Add any optional toppings—like tomatoes, avocado, or red onion—then place the top bun on and press gently.
Step 5 – Serve and enjoy
Serve immediately while warm and crisp. These sandwiches are perfect on their own or with a side salad or roasted potatoes.
