Scale
Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 large croissants, sliced in half
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chopped Romaine lettuce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh lemon juice, extra Caesar dressing for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken with Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until the chicken is well coated with the dressing and seasoning. Fold in the chopped Romaine lettuce gently to combine all ingredients without wilting the greens. Optionally, drizzle a bit of fresh lemon juice over the mixture to add a bright, fresh flavor.
- Toast the Croissants: Slice the croissants in half lengthwise. Lightly toast them if desired to enhance the texture and bring out the buttery flavors of the croissant.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Divide the chicken Caesar mixture evenly between the bottom halves of the croissants. Top with extra Caesar dressing or Parmesan cheese if you like. Place the top halves of the croissants on the sandwiches and serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time while maintaining great flavor.
- Add crispy bacon or sliced ripe tomatoes to enhance flavor and texture.
- This chicken Caesar mixture works well wrapped in pita bread or a tortilla wrap for a different handheld lunch option.
