Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large Butter Croissants Bakery-style, split horizontally.
  • 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast 450g, cut into generous chunks.
  • 1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 15ml, for searing.
  • 0.5 tsp Kosher Salt 3g, for seasoning the meat.
  • 1 small head Romaine Lettuce Yielding crisp bright green leaves, washed and dried.
  • 0.5 cup Thick Caesar Dressing 120ml, thick and creamy.
  • 0.25 cup Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese 25g, for garnish.
  • 1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper 2g, freshly cracked.

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed Skillet Essential for getting a slightly browned crust on the chicken.
  • 1 Serrated bread knife Crucial for slicing the flaky crust without crushing it.
  • 1 Salad Spinner Used to ensure the romaine leaves are perfectly dry.

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. Tear the crisp green romaine lettuce leaves from the head. Wash thoroughly and spin them completely dry using a salad spinner.
  2. Dice the 1 lb (450g) of chicken breast into generous chunks and toss with 1/2 tsp (3g) of kosher salt.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop slightly browned edges. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the warm chicken chunks to a bowl and pour in the 1/2 cup (120ml) thick Caesar dressing. Toss gently until heavily coated.
  5. Place the bottom half of a golden brown flaky croissant on a plate. Layer generously with the crisp romaine leaves, then spoon the heavily coated chicken on top.
  6. Generously sprinkle the finely grated parmesan cheese and coarse black pepper over the filling. Rest the top half of the croissant slightly ajar on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Ensure the chicken cools slightly before mixing with dressing to prevent it from thinning out.
Tip 2: Toast your croissants in a dry pan for 60 seconds to revive their deeply browned, flaky crust.
