Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Chicken Caesar Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken with Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and optional lemon juice. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
Toast the Croissants (Optional):
- If desired, toast the croissants in a skillet or toaster oven for 1-2 minutes to add a slight crunch and enhance the buttery flavor.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay a layer of romaine lettuce on the bottom half of each croissant. Spoon the chicken Caesar mixture evenly over the lettuce. Add cherry tomato halves for extra flavor and color, if desired.
Finish and Serve:
- Place the top half of the croissant over the filling and press gently. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like chips, a fruit salad, or iced tea.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the chicken Caesar mixture up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Customizable Ingredients: Add bacon, avocado, or even red onion slices for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage Tips: Keep leftover chicken Caesar filling in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble sandwiches just before serving to keep the croissants fresh.
- Healthier Version: Use whole-grain croissants and Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing for a lighter take on this recipe.
