# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything you love about a Caesar salad but with way less mess and no fork required
  • The homemade dressing comes together in two minutes and keeps in the fridge for a week
02 -
  • Slicing the chicken against the grain after resting makes every bite tender instead of chewy
  • Letting the grilled chicken rest for those 5 minutes prevents all the juices from running out onto your cutting board
03 -
  • Double the dressing and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator, it tastes even better after the flavors meld for a day
  • If the ciabatta rolls feel too thick, pull out some of the soft interior bread before grilling to prevent the sandwich from becoming bready and overwhelming
