Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Caesar Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard if using, and black pepper. Stir the ingredients together until the chicken is well coated with the dressing and flavors are evenly distributed. Then, gently fold in the chopped romaine lettuce to incorporate without wilting the greens.
Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant horizontally, being sure not to cut all the way through so the sandwich holds together well. This will create a pocket for the filling while keeping the croissant intact.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the prepared chicken Caesar mixture evenly into each sliced croissant. Add as much filling as desired to make a hearty sandwich.
Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors. Optionally, drizzle additional Caesar dressing over the top or sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese for added taste and presentation.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient preparation.
For extra crunch, add crispy bacon bits or crouton pieces to the chicken mixture.
These sandwiches are ideal for brunch, lunch, or packed for picnics.
