Add cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced) to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and chicken, then toss until evenly coated.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, black pepper, and kosher salt to the mixture, and toss again to combine.
Optional: Lightly brush the toasted bagel halves with olive oil for extra flavor.
Spoon the Caesar salad mixture onto the toasted bagel halves, dividing evenly among all 8 halves.
