Perfect taste! The only change was the bread, I didn't have Ciabatta, so I used my homemade bun. Other then that used fresh ham, lovely chicken and of course the great Ceasar dressing- yum! Will make again, we're lucky to have one to photo, cause' I wanted to chow down. Made for Everyday is a Holiday! -
This was scrumptious !!!! I just downsized the recipe because we were only 2. I found these mini Ciabatta breads at Super Target of all places which worked out perfectly because when cut in half it served the two of us. I had cooked the pancetta in the morning and made the dressing as well, then just brought everything to work and assembled there for lunch. I loved the taste the pancetta gave in this sandwich. I also buttered the bread before putting in the oven. When I grilled my chicken I had put a little bit of salt, pepper and Italian seasonings. But this was a great delicious sandwich and very filling. Thanks so much for sharing Lori I will be making this one again, we loved it. -
These were so good! Wrapped them up and took them for lunch on a hike. May have just been the outdoor air, but one of the best sandwiches ever!!! Bought pre-cooked sliced chicken breasts so they were super easy too! -
Great sandwich! I made a few minor changes. I used french bread because my grocery store was out of Ciabatta bread. I buttered each half of bread before toasting it in the oven. Instead of chopped romaine, I used full leaves. I also used 4 chicken breasts. We all enjoyed this for dinner. Thank you for the recipe. Made for Every Day is a Holiday tag.

Very nice sandwich! I doubled the garlic, used bacon, and used Italian bread (can't find ciabatta here) otherwise made as posted. Next time if I used the same bread, I would toast both sides of bread. Thanks Lori Mama for sharing. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.

Very good! I substituted bacon for the pancetta since that is what I had. Everything else was the same. This is so good! Thanks for sharing.
