This Chicken Caesar Salad sandwich is inspired by the classic Caesar salad. It’s made with Boar’s Head FireSmith™ Flame Grilled Chicken Breast which is cooked over an open flame which gives the meat actual grilled flavor. Creating the sandwich does take a few more steps, as you have to make the Caesar dressing and toast the bread, but it’s worth the effort! That said, I have a tips and tricks section above, which gives easy shortcuts and substitutions, simplifying the sandwich-making process.

Instructions
Make the Caesar dressing by placing the yogurt, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, salt, garlic and anchovy fillet (or anchovy paste) in a medium sized bowl. Mix together thoroughly. If using the anchovy fillet, smashing the anchovy with a fork until it’s a paste and is incorporated into the dressing.
Make the garlic toast by placing the extra virgin olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet and adding the garlic slices. Cook on medium low heat, until the garlic slices are brown (but not burnt). Remove the garlic slices from the oil, and discard or mash the garlic into the dressing. Dip both sides of all the bread slices into the oil, brushing any oil that isn’t soaked up onto the bread. Sprinkle the toast on both sides with the parsley, salt and pepper. Then cook in the same skillet on medium low heat, until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat.
Assemble the sandwich by placing 1 piece of toast on a plate. Add 2 pieces of Little Gem lettuce or 1 piece of Romaine on the bread. Shave some Parmesan cheese onto the lettuce, then drizzle from Caesar dressing onto it. Add the chicken breast, then drizzle more Caesar dressing on. Add another layer of lettuce and a piece of toast.Repeat the process again to make the second sandwich.
