Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Sandwich
- 4 sandwich buns (brioche, hamburger, or your favorite type)
- Optional: butter for toasting buns
Instructions
- Mix the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed to balance the flavors.
- Toast the Buns (Optional): Lightly butter the inside of each sandwich bun. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns until they turn golden and slightly crisp, enhancing their flavor and texture.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a layer of chopped romaine lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Spoon generous amounts of the chicken Caesar mixture over the lettuce, then cover with the top half of the buns to complete the sandwiches.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm or at room temperature. These pair wonderfully with your favorite sides for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add crispy bacon or sliced tomatoes to the sandwiches.
- Use homemade Caesar dressing to control ingredients and customize taste.
- Brioche buns add a rich, buttery flavor but any sandwich bun will work.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the buns with gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps.
- Leftover chicken Caesar mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
