HOW TO STORE:
These Instant Pot Chicken Caesar Sandwiches or the mix I should say needs to be refrigerated.
You can put it in a airtight container such as a Tupperware container or a ziptop bag and it should last in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days.
CAN I FREEZE THIS?
This recipe can be frozen, yay! I love when we can freeze leftovers, or when we can make this ahead of time and freeze it for later use.
To freeze, place in a freezer bag and squeeze out as much air as possible then place in the freezer. This should last up to three months.
To defrost let stand in the refrigerator for 24 hours. You can reheat the mixture to warm it up either in your instant pot, in a pan on the stove or in the microwave.
The flavors in these sandwiches just come together well. If you really want to make them like the salad you can crush up a little bit of croutons and add them to the top of sandwiches.
Sometimes we do this with our sloppy joes, we add some chips just for a little extra crunch, but it is an option to do if you would like a little more crunch other than the lettuce itself.
You can also use other lettuce besides romaine, it is just one of our favorites to use and it makes the sandwiches look really pretty.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- You can use frozen chicken for this recipe, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time on your instant pot.
- We love sesame see buns for this, but any buns work, we also love brioche.
- This recipe can be frozen, see the notes above on how to do that.
- The lettuce is optional, but it really makes the sandwich.
- Sprinkle some more parmesan on top of the sandwiches before serving is highly recommended.
- If you can’t find shredded parmesan you can use the bottled grated parmesan as well.
- Before serving make sure that the cheese is melted through the chicken mixture and everything is combined well.
