# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything you love about the salad, but portable and infinitely more satisfying
  • The homemade Caesar dressing comes together in minutes and beats anything from a bottle
  • Crispy toasted ciabatta turns this into restaurant-quality comfort food
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is non-negotiable or all those juices will end up on your cutting board instead of in your sandwich
  • The dressing can be made up to three days ahead and actually gets better as the flavors meld together
  • Do not skip toasting the buns, that crunch is what elevates this from ordinary to extraordinary
03 -
  • Pound your chicken breasts to even thickness before grilling for more uniform cooking and easier slicing
  • Warm your ciabatta rolls for 2 minutes in the oven before buttering and toasting for extra interior softness
