1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Caesar dressing. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through.
Cut each croissant in half horizontally. Butter the inner side of each half lightly with unsalted butter.
Place the buttery side down on the skillet and toast the croissants until they are golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
On the bottom half of each toasted croissant, layer evenly with chopped Romaine lettuce.
Spoon the warm, seasoned chicken mixture over the lettuce.
Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.
Add cherry tomato halves for an extra burst of flavor.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for taste.
Place the top half of the croissant over the filling to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
If you have leftover roasted or grilled chicken, use that as a substitute for the cooked chicken breast.
For a healthier version, swap out regular croissants for whole wheat croissants.
Pair the sandwich with a crisp white wine for a more elegant lunch or dinner experience.
