# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • Its the perfect way to eat Caesar salad without a fork, making it ideal for picnics and parties
  • The toasted ciabatta soaks up that creamy dressing while staying satisfyingly crisp
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps all those juices inside instead of running onto your cutting board
  • The dressing can be made a day ahead, which actually allows the flavors to meld together even better
03 -
  • Pound your chicken breasts to even thickness before grilling for the most consistent cooking
  • Shave your Parmesan with a vegetable peeler instead of grating it for those elegant, translucent shavings
