Ingredients
  

Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches
  • 3 cup cooked chicken
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup celery
  • 0.25 cup red grapes
  • 2 tbsp pecans
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 6 croissants

Method
 

Make the chicken salad
  1. Combine cooked chicken, mayonnaise, celery, red grapes, pecans, and lemon juice in a large bowl until evenly mixed and creamy.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, stirring until the mixture is well combined and tastes balanced.
Chill and assemble
  1. Chill the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld and the filling thickens slightly.
  2. Slice the croissants in half before filling so they’re ready to assemble quickly.
  3. Scoop a generous portion of chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant.
  4. Top with the other croissant half and serve immediately, or wrap for grab-and-go lunches.

Notes

For the cleanest filling, dice the chicken into small, even pieces so it scoops nicely onto the croissants. Refrigerate assembled sandwiches up to 24 hours; the chicken salad keeps 3–4 days in the fridge (freezing not recommended due to texture). If you want a lighter option, swap part of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt while keeping the lemon juice.
