Chopped Chicken Caesar Sammies

This high-protein chicken Caesar sandwich offers a fresh, modern twist on the classic salad. By chopping the cooked chicken breast and tossing it in a zesty, homemade dressing of Parmesan, lemon, and a hint of savoury anchovy, every bite is infused with flavour. Using light mayonnaise and olive oil ensures the filling remains satisfyingly creamy yet balanced, providing a nutritious midday meal that is both filling and wholesome.

Perfect for a quick weekday lunch or an easy weekend meal, these sandwiches use toasted ciabatta rolls to provide a pleasing crunch. The addition of sliced tomatoes and crisp romaine lettuce offers a refreshing contrast to the rich chicken filling. Whether you are looking for a protein-packed recovery meal or a simple family lunch, these rolls are a practical and delicious choice.
