Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the chicken mixture in the morning. Keep the bread separate, then assemble just before dinner to keep the texture fresh. It saves time and keeps the sandwich crisp.

Is store-bought Caesar dressing okay?

Yes. Good store-bought dressing can be a lifesaver on busy nights. If it tastes too sharp, mix in a spoonful of plain yogurt or mayo to smooth it out.

What kind of bread works best?

Crusty bread holds up well to the dressing and adds that satisfying crunch. Sourdough, ciabatta, or a sturdy baguette are all good choices.

Can I use other greens besides romaine?

You can, but romaine has the right balance of crunch and mild flavor. If you use softer greens like butter lettuce, add them after the chicken is dressed to prevent wilting.

How do I keep the sandwich from getting soggy?

Toast the bread right before assembling. Store the chicken and dressing separately from the bread if you are preparing ahead of time.
