Full Recipe:

Ingredients

Sandwich

• Croissants, split (enough for number of servings)

• Crispy fried chicken pieces (thin cutlets or strips)

• Romaine lettuce, crisp and shredded

• Creamy Caesar style dressing (mayonnaise based, optional anchovies)

Optional Toppings

• Grated or shaved Parmesan cheese

• Lemon juice (for brightness)

• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Prepare the croissants

   • Split the croissants lengthwise. Optionally toast or lightly heat them to enhance flakiness.

2. Cook the chicken

   • Use thin chicken cutlets or tenders. Bread and fry until golden and crispy, or bake/air fry if preferred.

3. Make the Caesar style dressing

   • Whisk together mayonnaise, garlic (and anchovies if using), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth.

4. Toss the lettuce

   • In a bowl, combine shredded romaine with a few tablespoons of the dressing until well coated.

5. Assemble the sandwich

   • Spread dressing on the inside of the croissants. Layer on crispy chicken, followed by dressed romaine. Top with Parmesan and a crack of black pepper, plus a squeeze of lemon if desired.

6. Serve immediately

   • For maximum crispness and flavor, enjoy right away.
