# How to Make:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, celery, and red onion in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
02 - Slice each croissant horizontally without cutting completely through, creating a hinged pocket for easy filling.
03 - Layer chopped romaine lettuce along the bottom half of each opened croissant to create a crisp foundation.
04 - Spoon a generous portion of the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto the lettuce bed, distributing evenly among all four sandwiches.
05 - Top with additional Parmesan shavings if desired. Gently close the croissants and serve immediately for optimal texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The buttery croissant against tangy Caesar is frankly unfair to everything else in your lunch rotation
  • Ready in twenty minutes but tastes like you put actual thought into it
02 -
  • The croissants need to be fresh but not straight-from-the-oven hot or they'll steam everything into sadness
  • Making this ahead? Keep components separate and assemble right before eating or you'll have a soggy situation
03 -
  • Toasting the inside of the croissant lightly creates a barrier against moisture and adds another texture layer
  • The chicken salad tastes better after sitting for an hour, so make it first and assemble last
