Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped Rotisserie chicken works well
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Optional
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For assembly
  • 4 pieces croissants, halved
  • ½ cup romaine lettuce, chopped Creates a moisture barrier
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced Optional
  • Extra Parmesan shavings For garnish
  • Lemon wedges Optional, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Put the shredded chicken in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the dressing, grated Parmesan, Dijon (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper.
  3. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture is cohesive. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a work surface.
  5. Divide the chopped romaine among the four bottom croissant halves to form a crisp barrier.
  6. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the lettuce. Top with sliced cherry tomatoes if using.
  7. Cap each sandwich with the croissant tops. Garnish with extra Parmesan shavings and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt mixed with a little mayonnaise for a lighter dressing; pecorino Romano can substitute for Parmesan for a saltier bite; whole wheat or brioche rolls can replace croissants if you prefer less buttery bread.
