Here's the gist of how you can create this masterpiece:
Ingredients:
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 sub rolls
- 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite Caesar dressing
- 6 slices of crispy cooked bacon
- 1 Roma tomato
- 3 tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
- Start by seasoning your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give it a good rub down to ensure every bit is coated with flavour.
- Heat up your grill to medium-high and cook that chicken until it reaches 165 degrees F (approx. 10 minutes, turning once).
- Give your chicken a 5-minute rest and then slice it into delicious strips.
- Lightly toast your sub rolls on the grill (cut-side down) for extra flavour.
- In a medium bowl, toss your romaine lettuce with the creamy Caesar dressing.
- Assemble your BLTs by placing 3 strips of bacon on each roll, top with the dressed lettuce, sliced tomatoes, then the grilled chicken, and finally, sprinkle some parmesan cheese over it all.
