Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1 ½ lbs
- Kosher salt and black pepper for seasoning
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
For the Dressing
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey

For the Sandwich
- 4 croissants
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese divided
- 4 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
- 2 avocados sliced
- hot honey optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally to butterfly, then cut into 4 equal pieces.
- Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. In separate bowls, beat eggs and mix panko with Parmesan.
- Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg, and coat in panko-Parmesan mix. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Transfer to paper towel–lined plate. Repeat for all pieces. Add oil if needed.
- In a bowl, whisk yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper to make dressing.
- Broil halved croissants brushed with butter and topped with Parmesan until lightly golden and crisp.
- Toss Romaine with remaining Parmesan and dressing.
- Assemble sandwiches: place chicken on bottom half, top with avocado, lettuce mix, drizzle hot honey (if using), then close.
Notes
For a crunchier finish, toast the croissant halves just before serving. You can prep the chicken in advance and reheat in the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F.
