Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and optional herbs like dried oregano or garlic powder on both sides.
- Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Then slice into thin, even strips.
- While chicken is resting, prepare the bread by lightly buttering the exterior sides of each slice.
- In a separate bowl, mash half the avocado and mix with Caesar dressing to create a creamy spread.
- Toast bread slices in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown and crispy.
- Spread the avocado-Caesar mixture on the inner sides of the toasted bread.
- Layer sliced grilled chicken on one bread slice.
- Add chopped romaine lettuce on top of the chicken.
- Slice the remaining avocado and arrange on the lettuce.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the layers.
- Close the sandwich with the second bread slice and press gently.
- Cut diagonally and serve immediately while bread is still warm and crispy.
Tips
- Temperature is key: Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is perfectly cooked at 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy and tender.
- For extra flavor, try adding a light sprinkle of smoked paprika or dried herbs when seasoning the chicken.
- Use fresh, high-quality Parmesan and grate it yourself for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the bread until it's golden and crispy to provide a satisfying crunch.
- Prepare ingredients in advance to make assembly quick and easy.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich while the bread is still warm and crispy.
