Ingredients
  

  • 4 large croissants Sliced horizontally
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced Rotisserie works well
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing Creamy style
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce Washed and dried
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese Shaved or grated
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper To taste

Equipment

  • 1 serrated knife For slicing pastry
  • 1 Mixing bowl For tossing chicken
  • 1 Cutting board Prep surface

Method
 

  1. Slice the croissants in half horizontally using a serrated knife to ensure a clean cut without squishing the flaky layers.
  2. Place the chicken breast slices in a bowl and toss gently with half of the Caesar dressing to coat them lightly.
  3. Lay a bed of fresh romaine lettuce on the bottom half of each croissant to create a crisp foundation.
  4. Arrage the dressed chicken slices generously over the lettuce leaves.
  5. Drizzle the remaining Caesar dressing over the chicken for extra creaminess and moisture.
  6. Top with shaved parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper for a sharp, savory finish.
  7. Place the top half of the croissant on the sandwich and press down very gently to secure the filling.

Notes

To prevent the croissant from getting soggy, place the lettuce leaf directly on the bottom half of the pastry before adding the dressed chicken. This acts as a moisture barrier.
