Ingredients

4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 5-6 oz breasts, or 2 larger breasts sliced in half horizontally)

Instructions

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag and add the chicken, turning to coat the ingredients on both sides. Marinate for 1-2 hours, turning the bag occasionally. (Note: the chicken can also be marinated overnight in the refrigerator. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling).
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Oil the grates, then grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a small layer of caesar dressing on the bun. Add the chicken, romaine, more dressing, and the parmesan cheese.

Notes

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store the chicken, buns, and toppings separately so everything stays fresh. The grilled chicken keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I like to slice it before storing - it makes reheating and assembling sandwiches even easier later.

You can also freeze the cooked chicken for 3-4 months.
