4 croissants, halved

Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with all the flavorful ingredients.
02 -
Slice your croissants in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom piece for each sandwich. For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the croissants, but they're delicious as is with their buttery, flaky texture.
03 -
Arrange the bottom halves of your croissants on a clean surface or serving plates. Layer each with a bed of the crisp, chopped romaine lettuce. This adds freshness and crunch to balance the creamy chicken filling.
04 -
Generously spoon the chicken Caesar mixture over the lettuce on each croissant bottom. If you're using them, arrange sliced cherry tomatoes on top of the chicken for a pop of color and juicy freshness.
05 -
Place the top half of each croissant over the filling to complete your sandwiches. For an extra touch, add some Parmesan cheese shavings on top or sprinkle them on the filling before closing the sandwich. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for those who enjoy a citrusy accent.
# Notes:
01 -
Using rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even quicker to prepare - just pull the meat off and shred it with two forks.
02 -
You can customize these sandwiches with additional vegetables like sliced cucumbers, red onion, or avocado.
03 -
For a complete meal, serve with a side of fresh fruit, chips, or a light soup.
04 -
The chicken Caesar filling can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
