Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)
- 4 croissants, halved
- Extra Parmesan shavings (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Caesar Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed and the chicken is fully coated in the dressing. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent flavor in every bite.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Open the croissants and layer the bottom half with chopped romaine lettuce. The lettuce provides a bed for the chicken filling and prevents the croissant from becoming soggy. Spoon the chicken Caesar filling generously over the lettuce. Optionally, add sliced cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and flavor. Don’t overfill the croissants, or they will be difficult to eat.
- Top and Serve: Place the top half of the croissant over the filling. Garnish with Parmesan shavings for a touch of elegance and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for a tangy kick. The lemon wedge adds a bright and refreshing element to the sandwich.
