Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.3333 cup Caesar dressing
• 4 slices Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices
• 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 leaves Romaine lettuce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips or pieces.

Step 4

Preheat your oven's broiler to high.

Step 5

Lightly butter the insides of the ciabatta rolls or sandwich bread. Place them on a baking sheet, buttered side down.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the Caesar dressing with the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Spread a generous layer of the Caesar-Parmesan mixture onto the non-buttered side of the bread.

Step 8

Layer the sliced chicken onto the bread, followed by a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the oven. If desired, top with a romaine lettuce leaf for added crunch.

Step 11

Close the sandwiches with the other half of the bread and serve warm. Enjoy your Caesar Chicken Melt!
