Smoky Chicken Caesar Sandwiches
with Slaw & Roasted Potato Wedges
- Eggs
- Milk
- Wheat
Blackening Spice and everything nice—that’s what these sandwiches are made of! Caesar dressing, mayo, smoked paprika, and lemon juice turn cabbage into a tangy topper, while chicken is seared with our peppery Blackening Spice. Everything’s stuffed between toasted brioche buns and served with garlicky potato wedges on the side. Feel like these flavors warrant a BBQ? Try grilling the chicken instead for a weeknight meal with a cookout feel.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Halve lemon. • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine dressing, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, remaining garlic powder, and juice from half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). • Stir in cabbage until coated. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then rub all over with Blackening Spice. Place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or heavy-bottomed pan until about 1⁄3 inch thick. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. TIP: If seasoning begins to burn before chicken is fully cooked, reduce heat to medium and add a splash of water.
• While chicken cooks, halve buns; toast directly on middle oven rack until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. • Fill buns with chicken and as much slaw as you like. Divide sandwiches, potato wedges, and any remaining slaw between plates. Cut remaining lemon into wedges and serve on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The blackening spice gave the chicken real character, but many felt the Caesar flavor was too subtle — it came through mainly in the slaw rather than the chicken itself. Some found the overall dish spicy; others wanted more seasoning, so adjust the blackening spice to your heat preference.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, with the chicken and potatoes cooking simultaneously for an efficient weeknight meal.
- Suggestions: Add a sauce directly on the bun — a spicy mayo, extra Caesar dressing, or remoulade — since several reviewers felt the sandwich was dry without it. A slice of cheese, pickles, or tomato also helped bring the sandwich together. Use less smoked paprika in the slaw if you prefer a milder flavor, as a few found it overpowering.
- Texture: Pound the chicken evenly so thinner and thicker pieces cook at the same rate; uneven cutlets led to chewy results for some. Making cuts in the meat before rubbing in the seasoning is another approach that worked well.
Reviews from our home cooks
A very tasty chicken sandwich! Lots of flavor without being too spicy. Delicious slaw went perfectly with the chicken.
The Caesar dressing was a bit tangy but mixed with everything else made the slaw a perfect pairing.
This was the best meal of my week! Easy and smoky. Don't need all of the mayo in the slaw.
This was delicious! Very easy to put together and the slaw was so good with the smoked paprika. I may have to start making slaw like that now!
Excellent sandwich. Added about a teaspoon of sugar to the slaw to give the acid a bit of sweet balance.
This sandwich was the #1 dish out of the meals I ordered. I was surprised my son liked the slaw! He's not really picky but he's a visual eater and is good at describing his taste sensations. He loved this and if he says it's good...it's GOOD!
Husband who hates spicy food loved this, though he did avoid the slaw. Slaw was a good accompaniment and others at the table eating other foods added it to their entrees and loved it.
I really liked the smoky chicken however I wasn't crazy about the slaw on top. It did add a nice crunchy texture but I think I would have preferred regular cole slaw on the side.
Overall, was really good. I have a problem eating really big sandwiches, so I should have known this would be hard on my jaw. The blackened flavor also wasn't my favorite, but with the slaw on top the chicken tasted really good!
This has potential but really needs a sauce of some kind. The slaw wasn't enough to add moisture to the sandwich. The paprika was also a little bit too much. I'd use less next time.
