Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 3 white sub rolls
- Unsalted butter, softened, for brushing
- Garlic powder, for sprinkling
- Mayonnaise, for spreading generously
Salad and Chicken
- 1 (10-ounce) package Caesar salad kit (includes romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and croutons)
- 1 batch chicken cutlets (about 1 cup diced) or 1 cup diced rotisserie chicken
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Prepare chicken cutlets by pan-frying or baking until cooked through and crispy; alternatively, dice up 1 cup of rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- Prepare Rolls: Brush the inside of each sub roll generously with softened unsalted butter. Lightly sprinkle garlic powder on the buttered sides. Toast the rolls in a skillet over medium heat or under the broiler in the oven until they are golden brown and slightly crisp. Allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
- Spread Mayo: Generously spread mayonnaise on both the top and bottom toasted sides of the rolls to add creaminess and flavor.
- Mix Salad: Pour the entire Caesar salad kit contents into a large mixing bowl. Use tongs to thoroughly toss the lettuce, dressing, and croutons until well combined. If using rotisserie chicken instead of crispy chicken cutlets, add it now to the salad mix and toss lightly.
- Assemble Sandwich: Evenly divide the tossed Caesar salad mixture among the three prepared sub rolls. Layer the cooked chicken cutlets evenly on top of the salad in each sandwich. For added flavor, grate fresh Parmesan cheese over the chicken using a zester if desired. Close each sandwich carefully and serve immediately.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken is a convenient and time-saving alternative to cooking chicken cutlets from scratch.
- The Caesar salad kit typically includes dressing and croutons; no need to add extra unless desired.
- Adjust garlic powder quantity to taste when buttering the rolls for toasting.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the sandwich but can be omitted for a lighter option.
- Toast the rolls just before assembling to maintain crispness and prevent sogginess.
