Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) chicken breast, cooked (grilled, sliced or shredded)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked
- 1–2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 4 sandwich rolls (ciabatta or sourdough), toasted
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Caesar dressing
- ¼ cup (30 g) croutons, crushed (optional for crunch)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Caesar Lettuce: Whisk romaine with creamy Caesar dressing, integrating crushed croutons for textural complexity. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor profile.
- Toast Bread Base: Gently golden-brown sandwich rolls or bread slices, optionally infusing with garlic essence by rubbing a fresh clove across surface for aromatic depth.
- Craft Sandwich Layers: Methodically construct sandwich by positioning succulent sliced chicken as foundation, overlaying crisp bacon strips, vibrant tomato rounds, and dressed romaine. Garnish with delicate Parmesan cheese shavings if desired. Crown with complementary bread slice to complete gourmet creation.
Notes
- Choose sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta that can hold moisture without getting soggy, ensuring a crisp texture throughout the sandwich.
- Use Caesar dressing sparingly to prevent overwhelming the other ingredients, creating a harmonious flavor profile that lets each component shine.
- Cook bacon until extra crispy and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease, maintaining a crunchy texture and preventing bread from becoming greasy.
- Cook chicken and bacon in advance, store separately, and assemble sandwich just before serving to maintain maximum freshness and prevent bread from becoming wet.
