Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • Oil for frying (or spray for air fryer)

For the Caesar Dressing (optional or store-bought):

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayo

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 anchovy fillets (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

  • 2 large croissants, halved

  • 2 tbsp butter (for croissants)

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (for croissants)

  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • Optional: sriracha mayo or hot honey drizzle

Instructions

  • Make the Dressing: Combine all Caesar dressing ingredients in a blender or whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until needed.

  • Prepare Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Coat in panko breadcrumbs.

  • Cook Chicken:

    • Skillet: Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.

    • Air Fryer: Preheat to 375°F. Cook for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway.

  • Toast Croissants: Spread butter on croissant halves. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Broil for 1–2 minutes until golden and crisp.

  • Assemble Sandwiches: On each bottom croissant half, layer romaine, sliced avocado, crispy chicken, and Caesar dressing. Top with the other croissant half. Secure with a skewer if desired.

  • Serve: Pair with fries, salad, or a pickle spear. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For a spicy twist, add sriracha mayo.

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and croissants if needed.

Toasting the croissant prevents sogginess.

Store dressing for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick version.
