Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 2 large croissants
- 2 crispy chicken filets (homemade or store-bought)
Salad
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ¼ cup Caesar dressing
- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- Cracked black pepper (to taste)
Optional
- Garlic butter for brushing croissant
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook chicken filets until golden and crispy using your preferred method such as baking, frying, or air frying. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked through and has a crisp exterior.
- Make the Caesar Salad: In a bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing, shaved Parmesan cheese, and cracked black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors evenly.
- Toast the Croissants (Optional): Lightly toast the croissants to add a warm, crispy texture. For added flavor, brush the croissants with garlic butter immediately after toasting.
- Assemble: Slice the croissants horizontally. Layer the Caesar salad generously on the bottom half, place a crispy chicken filet on top, then cover with the croissant lid.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the sandwiches fresh and warm to enjoy the perfect combination of flaky croissant, crunchy chicken, and creamy Caesar salad.
Notes
- Using homemade crispy chicken filets lets you control seasoning and crispiness, but store-bought works well for convenience.
- To make this gluten free, use gluten-free croissants and ensure the chicken coating is gluten-free.
- Garlic butter is optional but adds a delicious extra layer of flavor to the croissants.
- For a lighter option, you can skip the garlic butter and use light Caesar dressing.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain crisp textures and freshness.
