# How to Make:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, celery, and red onion. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
02 - Slice each croissant horizontally without cutting completely through, creating a pocket that can hold the filling.
03 - Line the bottom half of each croissant with a layer of chopped romaine lettuce.
04 - Spoon a generous portion of the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto the lettuce layer in each croissant.
05 - Top with extra Parmesan shavings if desired. Gently close the croissants and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The croissant adds this incredible richness that regular bread just cant match
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes but tastes like something from a cafe
  • The combination of textures is exactly right in every single bite
02 -
  • The croissants will get soggy if you assemble these too far ahead, so wait until the last 30 minutes before serving
  • Dressing the chicken salad a few hours beforehand actually improves the flavor as everything marinates
  • Slicing the croissants partially instead of completely through keeps all that filling inside where it belongs
03 -
  • Use room temperature chicken so it mixes evenly with the dressing
  • Toast the cut sides of the croissants lightly for extra texture without compromising the flaky exterior
