Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Rolls & Spread

  • 3 white sub rolls
  • Unsalted butter (softened), for brushing
  • Garlic powder, to sprinkle
  • Mayo, for spreading

Salad & Chicken

  • 1 (10-ounce) package Caesar salad kit
  • 1 batch chicken cutlets (or 1 cup diced rotisserie chicken)
  • Parmesan cheese (optional, for grating on top)

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Prepare the chicken cutlets as per your preferred method or use 1 cup of diced rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Cut the sub rolls in half. Generously brush the inside of each roll with softened unsalted butter. Lightly sprinkle garlic powder over the buttered surfaces. Toast the rolls either in a skillet over medium heat or under the broiler in your oven until they are golden and slightly crisp. Allow them to cool slightly before the next step.
  3. Spread Mayo: Generously spread mayo on both the top and bottom halves of each toasted sub roll for a creamy, flavorful base.
  4. Mix Salad: Pour the contents of the Caesar salad kit into a large bowl. Using tongs, toss the salad thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. If using rotisserie chicken, add it to the salad mix now and toss again to combine.
  5. Assemble: Evenly divide the Caesar salad mixture among the prepared sub rolls. Place the cooked chicken cutlets evenly on top of the salad. Using a zester or fine grater, sprinkle fresh Parmesan cheese over the chicken and salad if desired. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If you prefer, rotisserie chicken can be used instead of cooking chicken cutlets. Simply dice it and add directly to the salad.
  • To enhance the garlic flavor, you can add a bit of minced fresh garlic to the butter before brushing.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice authentic Caesar flavor and richness.
  • For an extra crunch, consider adding croutons from the salad kit directly into the sandwich.
