Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 croissants, halved
- 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
- ½ cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)
- Extra Parmesan shavings (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Caesar Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded or chopped cooked chicken with Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Take each halved croissant and place a layer of chopped romaine lettuce on the bottom half. Spoon the prepared chicken Caesar filling over the lettuce evenly. If using, add sliced cherry tomatoes on top of the chicken mixture for added freshness and flavor.
- Complete the Sandwich: Place the top half of each croissant over the filling to complete the sandwich. Garnish the sandwiches with extra Parmesan shavings for a final touch. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side to add a bright, citrusy note if desired.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut and adds great flavor.
- Dijon mustard is optional but adds a nice tang to the filling.
- Cherry tomatoes can be omitted for a simpler sandwich or substituted with thinly sliced cucumbers.
- For a crispier croissant, you can lightly toast the croissants before assembling.
- Serve immediately after assembling to keep the croissant fresh and avoid sogginess.
