A delicious Chicken Caesar Croissant Sandwich packed with flavor and perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large croissants, halved
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Caesar dressing. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through. Stir occasionally.
- Cut each croissant in half horizontally. Butter the inner side of each half lightly with unsalted butter.
- Place the buttery side down on the skillet and toast the croissants until they are golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- On the bottom half of each toasted croissant, layer evenly with chopped Romaine lettuce.
- Spoon the warm, seasoned chicken mixture over the lettuce.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.
- Add cherry tomato halves for an extra burst of flavor.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for taste.
- Place the top half of the croissant over the filling to complete the sandwich.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Substitute any leftover roasted or grilled chicken you might have.
- Add avocado slices for a creamier texture.
- Use whole wheat croissants for a healthier version.
- Pair with a crisp white wine for an elegant lunch or dinner.
