Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Garlic Butter
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sandwich Assembly
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 cup crispy romaine lettuce, shredded
- 4 crusty bread rolls (ciabatta or baguette)
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor before cooking.
- Heat the skillet and melt butter: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely, creating a rich base for sautéing the garlic.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Cook the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet with the garlic butter and cook for 6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal juices run clear, indicating that it is fully cooked.
- Rest and slice the chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest briefly. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat juicy. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips for easy sandwich assembly.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Cut the crusty rolls in half and layer with shredded romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, Caesar dressing, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Optional toasting: For an extra touch, grill or toast the assembled sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and slightly crisp, enhancing texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor.
- Allow chicken to rest after cooking to retain juiciness.
- Crusty bread like ciabatta or baguette works best for a sturdy sandwich.
- Optionally, add grilled sandwich step for a warm, melted texture.
