❤️ Why You’ll Love It
I am a big fan of a quality sandwich: Cuban Sandwich, Sheet Pan Philly Cheese Steak, Caprese Grilled Cheese, you name it! I am a fan.
- Fast and easy: Thanks to simple prepared chicken filets, dinner’s ready in 20 minutes.
- Big flavor: Crunchy, creamy, tangy, and totally satisfying.
- Restaurant vibes: Like your favorite chicken sandwich, but lighter and fresher. Plus customizable.
- Customizable: Add bacon, avocado, or swap buns for lettuce wraps to mix it up.
🥪 What You Need for Caesar Chicken Sandwiches
- 1 Kirkland Signature lightly breaded chicken breast filet (or any crispy chicken filet)
- ½ cup Caesar salad mix (romaine + dressing+ parmesan)
- 1 slice tomato
- 1 toasted bun (use caesar dressing to toast the bun)
- Optional: 2 pieces cooked bacon, provolone cheese, avocado, etc.
For ease and incredible crunch, I love using the Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Filets from Costco. They get perfectly crispy in the air fryer in about 18 minutes, and they make this sandwich taste restaurant-worthy with almost no effort. They taste amazing.
🔥 Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Air fry the Kirkland chicken breast filet at 375°F for 18 minutes, or until golden, crispy, and heated through.
- Prepare the salad: While the chicken cooks, toss romaine with Caesar dressing, pepper, and parmesan cheese until lightly coated.
- Toast the buns: Spread caesar dressing over the bun, and toast in a pan, air fryer, or oven.
- Assemble the sandwich:
- Place the cooked chicken filet on the bottom half of the toasted bun.
- Top with anything extra you want, Caesar salad, and tomato slice.
- Add the top bun and press gently.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy while the chicken is hot and crispy!
💡 Tips & Variations
- Add crunch: Add crispy bacon pieces for texture. Have you ever tried Baking Bacon?
- Spice it up: Drizzle a little buffalo sauce or cracked black pepper on top for some extra pizzaz.
- Make it lighter: Use grilled chicken and serve on a whole wheat bun or wrapped in lettuce.
This Caesar Chicken Sandwich is everything you love about Caesar salad — creamy dressing, crisp lettuce, and savory parmesan — layered with perfectly crispy chicken and juicy tomato on a toasted bun. It’s fast, flavorful, and feels fancy enough for company, but easy enough for a busy weeknight.
