Expert Tips for Perfect Chicken Caesar Sandwiches
Chicken Preparation: Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking and tender texture throughout each piece.
Dressing Balance: Make dressing ahead and let flavors meld - taste and adjust lemon, garlic, or parmesan as needed.
Bread Selection: Use sturdy bread that won't get soggy from dressing - ciabatta or sourdough work perfectly.
Lettuce Handling: Wash and dry romaine thoroughly - wet lettuce will dilute dressing and make sandwiches soggy.
Assembly Order: Dress lettuce separately first, then layer on sandwich to prevent bread from becoming too wet.
Serving Timing: Assemble and serve immediately to maintain crispy bread and fresh lettuce texture contrast.
