1. Start by cooking the chicken cutlets. You can either use a recipe from your favorite source or opt for a convenient rotisserie chicken. If you're cooking from scratch, season them well and cook them until golden brown and cooked through. You want about one cup of cooked chicken to fill your sandwich.
2. Next, prepare your sub rolls. Brush the inside of each white sub roll generously with softened butter. This step is crucial as it not only adds flavor but also helps create a deliciously crispy texture when toasted.
3. Sprinkle a light dusting of garlic powder over the buttered side of the rolls. This will infuse your sandwich with aromatic flavors. After that, toast the rolls in a skillet over medium heat or place them under the broiler in your oven. Watch them closely until they are golden and slightly crisp – this should take just a few minutes.
4. While the rolls are toasting, grab a large bowl and pour the contents of the Caesar salad kit into it. This includes the chopped romaine lettuce, dressing, and croutons. If you're using rotisserie chicken, you can add it directly to the salad mix now. Otherwise, wait until your chicken cutlets are ready.
5. Using a pair of tongs, mix the salad until everything is well combined. Ensure the dressing coats every leaf of lettuce, giving it that unmistakable Caesar flavor.
6. Once the rolls are toasted and slightly cooled, take them and generously spread mayo on both sides. This adds a creamy element that complements the crunchy salad.
7. Now, divide the salad mixture evenly among the three rolls. Make sure each roll gets a hearty portion so that every bite is packed with flavor.
8. Once the salad is in place, it’s time to add the cooked chicken cutlets on top of each sandwich. Distribute them evenly, ensuring each sandwich is hearty and satisfying.
9. If you like, use a zester to grate fresh Parmesan cheese over the top of each sandwich. This step enhances the flavor and gives a professional touch.
10. Finally, close each sandwich and enjoy your creation! Each bite will be a delightful combination of textures and flavors.
