What Comes in Panera Caesar Salad with Chicken?

Panera’s chicken Caesar salad combines several familiar ingredients:

  • Romaine lettuce: The leafy base of the salad.
  • Grilled chicken: Adds protein to the meal.
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese: Provides the characteristic salty, savory cheese topping.
  • Croissant croutons: Add a crunchy texture and carbohydrates.
  • Caesar dressing: Provides the creamy, savory Caesar flavor.

The combination gives the salad its traditional Caesar-style profile while making it a more substantial meal with chicken. Panera’s separately listed Caesar Salad Stuffer with Chicken also identifies romaine, seasoned chicken, Parmesan, croissant croutons and Caesar dressing.

Is Panera Caesar Salad with Chicken High in Sodium?

The whole Caesar Salad with Chicken contains 2,620 mg of sodium, while the half contains 1,310 mg. For context, the FDA’s Daily Value for sodium is less than 2,300 mg per day.
