Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwiches
Description
These Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwiches begin with boneless, skinless chicken breasts rubbed with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, then grilled until cooked through. The chicken is rested and sliced to retain juiciness. The accompanying baguette halves are grilled and rubbed with fresh garlic to add flavor and slight char.
The Caesar dressing blends grilled lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, garlic, olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese, adding a rich, savory tang. Chopped romaine lettuce and finely diced celery are tossed with this dressing along with additional grated Parmesan to create a crisp, creamy salad component.
Assembling the sandwich involves layering the romaine salad, sliced grilled chicken, fresh tomato slices, and shaved Parmesan on the garlic-rubbed baguette. The resulting sandwich balances smoky grilled chicken with bright, creamy dressing and fresh vegetables, delivering layered textures and flavors.
This sandwich works well for lunch or casual dinner, offering a satisfying combination of grilled protein, tangy dressing, and crunchy salad in a handheld format.

Instructions
- Heat grill to medium. Or you can use a grill pan and make this on the stove.
- Rub chicken with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano.

- Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken shows 165°F, about 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Grill the lemon halves and the baguette, cut sides down, until nicely charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the baguette to a cutting board and rub it with garlic cloves.
Make the dressing:
- Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice from the grilled lemon halves into a small bowl and whisk in with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until combined, and stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Salad:
- In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine and celery with 1/4 cup dressing and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
Assemble:
- Drizzle the remaining dressing on the baguette, layer with sliced grilled chicken, celery salad, and sliced tomatoes, and sprinkle with shaved parmesan. Cut each in half to make four sandwiches. Serve.
