Delicious grilled chicken caesar sandwiches with fresh tahini slaw and all of the toppings your heart desires. These chicken caesar sandwiches use a flavorful, dairy free tahini caesar marinade that doubles as the slaw dressing! You’ll LOVE these sandwiches for an easy summer dinner or lunch. Great for BBQs, too!
You guys know I’m all about a delicious burger, but sometimes an easy, flavorful grilled chicken sandwich just HITS. I love grilling chicken in the summer for weeknight dinners because you can use it in tons of amazing recipes.
Anyway, a couple of summers ago I was dreaming up new fun recipes using grilled chicken and realized I didn’t have a go-to chicken sandwich on the blog yet. What was I waiting for?! These incredible grilled chicken caesar sandwiches are packing the flavor thanks to the tahini-based vegan caesar dressing, which you’ll use as both the chicken marinade and the dressing for super crunchy, fresh slaw.
Pile these chicken sandwiches high on your fav buns with the best toppings like sweet tomato and creamy avocado. They’re perfect for your next BBQ, potluck, or just weeknight dinner or lunch. One bite and we were 100% hooked. As always, I’ve included tons of ways to customize your sandwiches and even ways to make them without a grill. Enjoy!
