Wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Set aside until ready to use.
Add the chicken breasts to a medium sized bowl and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Next, add the buffalo sauce and gently toss to combine.
To a large frying pan, add a tsp of cooking oil (olive oil or avocado oil) and set to medium/high heat.
Pan fry the chicken on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Set aside to let cool slightly while you toast the buns.
Sammy's tip: toasting the buns will keep the sandwich together better.
Add a few tablespoons of the caesar dressing onto the chopped romaine along with a handful of croutons and toss to combine.
The amount of dressing you use will be based off of how many sandwiches you are making.
Sammy's tip: the caesar dressing keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Add a layer of caesar dressing to the base of the toasted bun, followed by a chicken breast and top with a generous scoop of caesar salad.
