Ingredients
Scale
- Chicken Breast
- Caesar Dressing
- Romaine Lettuce
- Parmesan Cheese
- Sandwich Bread
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If you're using raw chicken breast, season it with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness). Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Make the Dressing: If you’re making homemade Caesar dressing, whisk together ½ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust to taste and mix in optional anchovy paste for that classic flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Slice your bread of choice in half. Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing on both sides of the bread.
- Add the Chicken: Layer the sliced chicken breast on the bottom half of the sandwich. Top with a handful of chopped romaine lettuce.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Add a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the lettuce.
- Close the Sandwich: Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich. You can press down gently to help the ingredients meld together.
- Serve: If desired, cut the sandwich in half and serve with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
