Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Caesar Pita Sandwiches.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a saucepan and toss in your chicken breasts along with a sprinkle of garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Step 3
Pour in enough water to completely cover the chicken, then bring it to a lively boil over high heat.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Step 5
When it’s done, carefully remove the chicken, let it cool for a moment, and then slice it into delicious strips.
Step 6
While your chicken is cooking, take a baking sheet and spread out some bread cubes.
Step 7
Give them a light spray with butter-flavored cooking spray, then sprinkle on some garlic salt and dried parsley for that extra flavor kick.
Step 8
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the bread cubes bake for 5 minutes.
Step 9
After that, give them a gentle turn, spray them again with cooking spray, and add a little more garlic salt and parsley.
Step 10
Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until they turn a lovely golden brown and become irresistibly crunchy.
Step 11
Once they’re ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool.
Step 12
Next, grab a large skillet and cook some bacon over medium-high heat until it’s crispy and beautifully browned.
Step 13
Once it’s done, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels.
Step 14
When it’s cool enough to handle, crumble it into delightful pieces.
Step 15
In a large bowl, combine your cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, torn romaine lettuce, and those lovely cooled croutons.
Step 16
Drizzle everything with Caesar salad dressing and sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 17
Season with salt and black pepper to your liking, then toss everything together until it’s all well mixed and coated in that creamy goodness.
Step 18
Finally, take your delicious chicken Caesar mixture and spoon it into halved pita bread.
Step 19
Serve immediately and enjoy every bite of this flavorful creation!.
