Ingredients

Caesar Dressing:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup grated Parmesan

Pinch kosher salt

Big pinch freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 anchovy fillets

1 clove garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lemon

Herby Chicken:

4 chicken cutlets

3 tablespoons pesto

1 lemon, zested

Pinch kosher salt

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Parmesan Sub Roll:

1 baguette

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup shredded Parmesan

1/2 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers

2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce

Directions

Special equipment:
toothpicks
  1. Preheat a grill pan over a medium-high heat. Preheat the broiler.
  2. For the Caesar dressing: Add the mayonnaise, Parmesan, salt, pepper, mustard, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice to a food processor. Process until smooth. Set aside.
  3. For the herby chicken: Place the chicken cutlets in a bowl with the pesto, lemon zest, salt and pepper and toss until thoroughly coated. Place on the grill. Cook through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and let rest.
  4. For the Parmesan sub roll: Halve the baguette lengthwise. Open and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle over the Parmesan, spreading it in an even layer. Place under the broiler until golden brown and toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Build the sandwich by spreading a few spoonfuls of Caesar dressing over the cut side of each baguette half. Arrange the grilled chicken cutlets along the bread. Top with a layer of the peppers.
  6. In a separate bowl, dress the romaine generously with a few spoonfuls of Caesar dressing. Add the romaine to the sandwich and top with the other half of the baguette.
  7. Place toothpicks through the sandwich every couple of inches, to help keep it together. Serve whole with a knife or cut into slices and serve.

Another delicious recipe from Ree. We love anything creamy Caesar in this house so when I saw this I had to try it. I now keep some of this dressing in the fridge along with some cleaned romaine, grilled chicken and homemade croutons. The young adults in my house eat it up. I use anchovy paste in a tube. I don’t have to waste leftover anchovies that way. None of us really love roasted red peppers so we substitute slices of sweet honey bomb tomatoes. Try this one!
