# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The homemade Caesar dressing comes together in under two minutes and tastes infinitely better than anything from a bottle
  • Everything can be prepped ahead, making this perfect for busy weeknight dinners or weekend lunches with friends
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is absolutely critical, otherwise all those juices will end up on your cutting board instead of in your sandwich
  • Don't skip toasting the buns, as that barrier of crispy bread prevents the dressing from making everything soggy within minutes
03 -
  • Pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness before grilling to ensure they cook uniformly and stay juicy throughout
  • Add a dash of hot sauce to your Caesar dressing if you like a little kick, it complements the creamy elements beautifully
