DIRECTIONS

N O T E S
* I used Sol Cuisine Chik'n Bites for this recipe. If you can't find them, sub in your favourite plant-based chik'n product and just make sure you cook enough to cover your ciabatta sammies!

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Arrange your plant-based bites on the baking sheet. Spray them with cooking spray and season with salt. Bake according to package directions. 
• With 5 minutes remaining on the bites, throw the ciabatta baguette in to warm up.
• In the meantime, add your shredded romaine to a mixing bowl along with the grana padano, squeeze of lemon juice, and a generous pinch of both pepper flakes and cracked pepper. Add desired amount of Caesar dressing and toss until saucy and combined. Taste and add additional lemon, grana, or pepper if desired. Set aside.
• Preheat a grill pan and remove your warm baguette from the oven. Cut in half so you have two separate ciabatta sammies. Slice them both open and brush the insides with EVOO. Slap them on the preheated grill until crisp with golden brown grill marks.
• A S S E M B L Y - Start  by scooping some of your tossed romaine on to the bottom of each ciabatta. Slap on some sliced red onions, followed by nestling 4 chik'n bites in to the Ceasar salad mix. Drizzle with more dressing if desired and grate as much grana padano over the sammies as you desire. 
• ENJOY!
