Sandwich Components
- 4 croissants, halved
- ½ cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)
- Extra Parmesan shavings (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Chicken Caesar Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie works well)
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Caesar Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or chopped chicken with Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard if using, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay the bottom halves of the croissants on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chopped romaine lettuce on each. Then spoon the prepared chicken Caesar filling over the lettuce. If desired, add sliced cherry tomatoes on top to add freshness and a pop of color.
- Complete the Sandwich: Place the top halves of the croissants over the fillings, pressing gently to secure. Garnish each sandwich with extra Parmesan shavings for added flavor and serve alongside lemon wedges for a zesty citrus accent.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
- Dijon mustard is optional but adds a nice tang to the filling.
- For a crispier croissant, you can toast the halves lightly before assembling.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the lettuce and croissant texture.
- Lemon wedges add a bright zing; squeeze before eating if desired.
