Instructions
-
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated parmesan cheese, anchovy fillets, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Blend these ingredients until smooth to create a delicious Caesar dressing.
-
Prepare your grill pan or cast iron skillet by brushing it lightly with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and heating it over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, fire it up and ensure it reaches a high temperature.
-
While the grill is heating, take the boneless skinless chicken breasts and brush them on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper for added flavor.
-
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken breasts on it and grill them over high heat. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, turning only once, until the chicken is beautifully browned and cooked through.
-
After grilling, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Meanwhile, grill the chicken tenders for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are also browned and fully cooked.
-
Once cooked, cut the tenders in half lengthwise and slice the breasts diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces to make them easy to layer in the sandwich.
-
Prepare your rolls by spreading the prepared Caesar mayonnaise generously on both the top and bottom halves of each roll.
-
For assembly, layer a sliced chicken breast and a piece of grilled tender on the bottom half of each roll, top it with a handful of fresh arugula, and cover it with the top half of the roll.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful sandwiches that blend the classic Caesar salad with a grilled chicken twist.
Feel free to customize your Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches with additional toppings like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon for an extra flavor boost. Enjoy this delightful dish for lunch, picnics, or casual gatherings!
