Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 7-8 oz chicken breast sliced in half
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 buns of your choice, I like my ciabatta
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • romaine lettuce
  • Caesar dressing

Method
 

  1. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. (We use a cast iron grill pan.)
  2. Drizzle the halved buns with olive oil and toast in the grill pan for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Slice the chicken lengthwise into 2 cutlets. To do this: Place the chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Hold a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board at the thickest part of the chicken. Carefully slice horizontally through the chicken, while pressing it down, starting at one edge, and continuing all the way through.
  4. Coat in mustard and oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Grill the chicken for 3-5 minutes per side. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Coat the cut sides of each bun with Caesar dressing. Add the grilled chicken followed by the shredded Romaine lettuce. Grate fresh Parmesan cheese over top, and add the top bun to close. Serve hot.

Notes

TIP: Transfer your salad dressing into a squeeze bottle for easy sandwich assembly, better portion control, and way less mess.
