These chicken bacon Caesar sandwiches are served in a bun, drizzled with Caesar dressing, piled with sliced sauteed chicken and a scoop of Caesar salad, and finished with Parmesan and bacon—so good!
8 slices bacon
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for buns
1 Caesar salad kit
lemon juice, to taste
8 buns
Caesar dressing, as needed
shaved Parmesan cheese, as needed
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
Season chicken with garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Meanwhile, prepare Caesar salad kit according to package directions.
Once chicken is done, remove to a board, and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Slice chicken and squeeze lemon juice over the top.
Cut bun in half, drizzle with olive oil, and add Caesar dressing, chicken, a scoop of salad, sliced Parmesan, and bacon. Add the top of bun.
