Healthy grilled chicken breast with citrus seasoning, a delicious Caesar spread that has Dijon, red pepper flakes, and fresh lemon zest. This sandwich is layered with tomato slices, romaine lettuce, and swiss cheese on a French baguette.
My favorite part is how fresh and flavorful this is. I love finding new ways to enjoy classic foods. It tastes just like the salad but now made into a sando. Chosen Foods sent me some of their amazing products to use and I knew this was the perfect recipe to try them out. I used their avocado oil, mayo, and dressing. Now I grilled my chicken breasts but you can always bake them instead. Just look at this yumminess.
This is a messy one but I promise it is worth it. It makes great Spring and Summer meal. I like to serve with soup, chips, or tater tots.
