- 1/4 cup Caesar Dressing (or Greek yogurt)
- Freshly cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Grill or pan-sear chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F. Shred rotisserie chicken if using.
- Make the Dressing: Combine Caesar dressing ingredients, or use store-bought with added lemon juice for extra zing.
- Slice the Croissant: Cut croissant in half lengthwise.

Notes
For a lighter option, use whole grain croissants and low-fat dressing. Best assembled just before serving to maintain crispness.
