Chicken Caesar Baguette Sandwiches are just what you expect - quick and simple deliciousness tucked into French bread. They are a fun, portable twist on a vintage classic.
2French baguette, cut in half, split lengthwise, with one side attached like a hinge

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil in a thin stream until the dressing is thick and creamy.
Stir in the chicken and parmesan and toss to coat.
Line each baguette section with some of the shredded lettuce. Spoon the chicken mixture into the baguette sections. Top with additional lettuce.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Stock up on ingredients when they are on sale. Parmesan is the high ticket item here. Buy it when you find it on sale. I buy big blocks of it at Costco for a cheap price. I also use Asiago or Romano if they are cheaper.
Make your own dressings. I’m sure you’ve got plenty of Caesar salad recipes that call for bottled dressing. Those bottles are either way too expensive or full of junk. Make your own and save money.
Note: If packing for take-away, wrap each sandwich carefully and consume within a few hours.
If you want to serve this gluten-free, serve the chicken mixture in lettuce wraps.
