All you have to do for this unwich is make my Chicken Caesar Salad Dressing, slather it all over fresh romaine lettuce, layer in pecorino romano cheese (Trader Joe’s makes theirs with sheep’s milk), and finish with thinly sliced pieces of chicken deli meat. Also feel free to opt out of the cheese if you don’t tolerate it well – the salad dressing carries this unwich with or without it.

Tip: find my original unwich recipe here, so you can see how I wrap them using parchment paper.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of romaine lettuce
  • 2-3 tablespoons of my Chicken Cesaer Salad Dressing
  • 6 slices of chicken deli meat (I like the brand Metro Deli)
  • Freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Tear off a piece of unbleached parchment paper that is roughly a foot or so long.
  2. Start piling up your romaine lettuce closest to you at a diagonal from the corner (so that it’s easy to tuck the corner under the unwich when you’re ready to roll it up). Keep the leafy parts of the lettuce on the outside and face the core of the lettuce towards each other – one leaf on the left and another on the right slightly on top of each other. Do this 5 or 6 times until you can start layering in the other ingredients.
  3. Once the foundation of your unwich has been laid, add the dressing liberally.
  4. Then add the cheese (I use a vegetable peeler so I get thick curls, chicken deli meat, and freshly cracked pepper.
  5. Grab the unwich firmly with your left hand and pull the corner over and under it with your right. Once you do this, you can continue rolling until you meet the other corner of the parchment paper.
  6. Now cut the unwich in half using a serrated knife and plate it with a side of grain-free chips and pickle.
