Ingredients

Scale

Caesar Dressing

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 anchovies (or more if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ounce parmesan cheese, freshly grated (about 1/2 cup)

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • Cooked chicken (quantity not specified, typically about 2 cups shredded or sliced)
  • Bread for sandwich (not specified, typically 4 slices or 2 sandwich breads)
  • Romaine lettuce (optional, commonly used in Caesar sandwiches)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caesar Dressing: In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolk, peeled garlic cloves, anchovies, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Process until smooth.
  2. Emulsify the Dressing: With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil to create a thick, creamy dressing. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the room temperature salted butter with the crushed garlic clove thoroughly to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
  4. Toast the Bread: Spread the garlic butter evenly on both sides of the sandwich bread slices. Toast the bread in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Toss cooked chicken with a generous amount of the Caesar dressing until well coated. Layer the dressed chicken onto the toasted bread slices. Optionally add romaine lettuce leaves for extra crunch and freshness.
  6. Serve: Place the second slice of bread on top and serve the Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich immediately while the bread is warm and the flavors are fresh.

Notes

  • Using a fresh egg yolk helps to create a creamy and emulsified Caesar dressing, but if concerned about raw eggs, use pasteurized eggs or an eggless Caesar dressing alternative.
  • The number of anchovies can be adjusted depending on your preference for saltiness and umami flavor.
  • Butter should be at room temperature for easy mixing with garlic.
  • Add romaine lettuce in the sandwich for extra texture and freshness, though it’s optional.
  • Cooked chicken can be grilled, roasted, or leftover chicken – shredded or sliced works well.
