Sandwich Ingredients
- 3 white sub rolls
- Unsalted butter, softened (about 3 tablespoons)
- Garlic powder (about 1 teaspoon)
- Mayonnaise (about 6 tablespoons)
- 1 (10-ounce) package Caesar salad kit (with dressing and croutons)
- 1 batch chicken cutlets (about 3 cutlets, see note 2 for preparation)
- Parmesan cheese (optional, for grating)
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Prepare chicken cutlets by pan-frying until golden and cooked through, or alternatively, dice up about 1 cup of rotisserie chicken if preferred for a quicker option.
- Prepare Rolls: Brush the inside of each sub roll generously with softened unsalted butter. Sprinkle a light dusting of garlic powder on the buttered sides. Toast the rolls either in a skillet over medium heat until golden and slightly crisp or under the broiler in the oven briefly, watching carefully to avoid burning. Allow to cool slightly.
- Spread Mayo: Generously spread mayonnaise on both the top and bottom halves of each toasted roll to add creaminess and flavor.
- Mix Salad: Pour the entire contents of the Caesar salad kit, including the dressing and croutons, into a large mixing bowl. Use tongs to toss the salad thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. If using rotisserie chicken instead of crispy cutlets, add the diced chicken into this bowl and mix.
- Assemble Sandwich: Evenly divide the prepared Caesar salad mixture among the three toasted rolls. Top each with an evenly divided portion of cooked chicken cutlets (or rotisserie chicken if used). Using a fine grater or zester, grate fresh Parmesan cheese over the chicken topping if desired for extra flavor.
- Serve: Close the sandwiches and serve immediately for a fresh, crunchy, and savory meal.
Notes
- If using chicken cutlets, see the referenced recipe or pan-fry thin slices of chicken breast seasoned and lightly breaded for best results.
- Rotisserie chicken offers a quick alternative if you want to skip cooking chicken from scratch.
- To toast rolls, broiling requires careful attention to prevent burning—watch rolls closely during this step.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but highly recommended for authentic Caesar flavor.
