Ingredients
Cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
Fresh, buttery croissants
Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
Caesar dressing, homemade or store-bought
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Croutons, optional
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the chicken: Season raw chicken breast with salt and pepper, then cook in olive oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. Let cool, then shred or slice. Alternatively, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
Prepare the lettuce: Wash and dry romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the Caesar filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken and romaine lettuce. Add Caesar dressing and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and crushed croutons (if using), then mix gently.
Slice the croissants: Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom piece.
Assemble the sandwich: Spoon the Caesar chicken and lettuce mixture onto the bottom half of each croissant. Add extra Parmesan on top if desired. Place the top half of the croissant over the filling.
Serve: Serve immediately for maximum freshness, or wrap tightly in parchment paper if packing for later.
