Cook the chicken: Spray both sides with olive oil and air fry for 10-12 minutes (or bake 18-20 minutes), flipping halfway, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp 74°C/ 165°F). 4. Toast the bread: Slice ciabatta rolls in half and lightly butter or spray with olive oil. Toast in a pan or oven until crisp and golden. 5. Make the Caesar filling: In a bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and black pepper until evenly coated. 6.Assemble the sandwich: Place cooked chicken on the bottom half of each roll, top with bacon slices, then pile on the Caesar salad mix. Drizzle with a little extra dressing if desired, then close the sandwich. 7. Serve: Slice in half and serve immediately while warm and crunchy.
