All of the flavours of a caesar salad in a sandwich with tender seasoned chicken and pepperoni!
I am a fan of chicken caesar salads and it works well in a sandwich! This sandwich is basically a simple caesar salad with seasoned chicken in a bun. The chicken is thinly sliced and seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. (I like to use mayo instead of oil for an extra bit of flavour.) This sandwich is great with the seasoned chicken and caesar salad but I like to add pepperoni for an extra hit of flavour! (You can also add bacon or sun dried tomatoes!)
