Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 sub rolls
- 1 cup cooked chicken, sliced
- 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to lightly toast the sub rolls.
- Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut completely through, creating a hinge.
- Place the sub rolls on a baking sheet and lightly toast in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes until they are golden and crisp around the edges.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
- If the chicken is not already cooked, quickly sauté sliced chicken breast in a pan with a little olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper until fully cooked through.
- Chop the romaine lettuce into fine, uniform pieces.
- Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp, then drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
- Spread Caesar dressing evenly on both interior sides of the toasted sub rolls.
- Layer the sliced cooked chicken evenly across the bottom of each roll.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the chicken.
- Add the crumbled bacon on top of the parmesan cheese.
- Top with chopped romaine lettuce.
- Close the sub rolls and slice diagonally in half for easier serving.
- Serve immediately while the rolls are still warm and crisp.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh romaine lettuce and high-quality bacon. If possible, opt for freshly made Caesar dressing for a richer taste.
- Perfectly Toasted Rolls: Keep an eye on the sub rolls while toasting them in the oven. You want them golden and crisp, not burnt, to provide the perfect texture for your sandwich.
- Customize Your Chicken: Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or marinate the chicken beforehand for an extra flavor boost. Grilled or rotisserie chicken also works beautifully!
- Layer Strategically: When assembling your sandwich, layer the ingredients in a way that balances flavors and textures. Start with the chicken, then cheese, bacon, and finish with lettuce to keep everything from getting soggy.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the sandwiches right after assembling. This keeps the sub rolls crispy and the ingredients fresh!
