Chicken shredded caesar sandwich with bacon

Chicken is the most versatile meat and can be cooked in various ways. Shredded chicken is used in many recipes and the fun part is that you can make this with yesterday's leftover baked chicken breast.

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup ready-to-use Caesar Dressing
  
  
• 2 entire chicken breasts
  
  
• 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil
  
  
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
  
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  
  
• 4 bacon slices
  
  
• 1 multigrain loaf bread (roughly 12 inches long and 4 inches wide)
  
  
• 1 cup of fresh spinach
  
  
• 12 olive-oil-sun-dried-tomatoes
  
  
• 2 oz. freshly shaved or grated Parmesan cheese
  
  
•  black pepper powder
  
  

Cooking method

Preheat the oven to 350°F and position the rack in the center. Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil and arrange the chicken breasts, drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until fully cooked and the center registers 165 degrees F. Transfer to a platter and set aside until cool enough to handle. cut the meat into thick pieces and keep them aside.

The bread should be lightly toasted after 5-7 minutes. If it isn't, put the pan back in for another 3 or so until nicely browned on top and crispy around the edges.

The best way I've found is just to give them a few seconds each time you take one out before putting it onto the rack so they can cool enough not to burn anyone's fingers!

With this simple recipe, you can cook a wonderful meal. Spread Caesar dressing on both slices of bread and arrange half an inch or less from each edge, then add cooked bacon pieces, followed by sun-dried tomatoes shaved into ribbons for added flavor before being placed over fresh spinach leaves — just enough so it sits atop without spilling out when you flip your creation over!

This is one of my favourite dishes, and my kids enjoy it as well. So try this incredible with the leftover baked chicken breast you have in the fridge and watch it transform into a mouth-watering delicacy that everyone will adore.
