1
Note for those with sensitivities: This recipe includes raw egg yolks.
-
2
Start by getting a large, non-stick skillet heated on the stove on medium heat.
-
3
Season the pounded chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
4
Once the skillet is heated, add the canola oil, give the skillet a good swirl, then carefully add the chicken breast.
-
5
Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until juices run clear (cook time will depend on thickness of chicken but if its thin it will not take long to cook).
-
6
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet onto a plate and set it aside.
-
7
Next, lets make the salad dressing.
-
8
Add the anchovies, garlic and coarse salt onto a cutting board.
-
9
Use your knife and mash them into a paste.
-
10
Add the paste into a mixing bowl.
-
11
Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl.
-
12
Use a whisk and whisk until you have a very smooth consistency.
-
13
Add in some cracked black pepper.
-
14
Next, slowly, and I mean slowly begin drizzling in the olive oil, while at the same time whisking quite rapidly.
-
15
Once the dressing has emulsified, add in the grated Parmesan cheese, give a good stir, and get ready to build your sandwich.
-
16
Preheat your oven to 400 F.
-
17
Slice your bread in half horizontally.
-
18
Do not cut all of the way through, but cut far enough where you can spread it open.
-
19
Lay this onto a baking sheet.
-
20
Let me just say, I love stecca.
-
21
If you have never tried it, you will be sold, immediately.
-
22
Add the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each cut side of the sliced bread.
-
23
Place into the oven for about 10 minutes, or just until the cheese melts and the bread gets slightly crisp.
-
24
The bread is my crouton factor in this recipe.
-
25
Smart, right?
-
26
Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool just for a few minutes.
-
27
During this time, drizzle on some of the Caesar dressing onto the romaine lettuce and begin to toss the lettuce.
-
28
Drizzle more dressing just until you have your preferred dressing to lettuce ratio.
-
29
You know how you like your Caesar salad, so use as much or as little dressing as you desire.
-
30
Take the chicken breast and add that to the bread, then generously load the salad on top of the chicken.
-
31
Press and close the sandwich.
-
32
This chicken Caesar salad sandwich was awesome.
-
33
This is a fork and hand-style sandwich.
-
34
The salad itself was a winner in my book, and when lettuce began to fall out, well, I just forked it up and continued to dig in.
-
35
A salad and sandwich combination is perfect in my world.
-
36
And when joined together, well, say no more.

I hope you enjoy!
