Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches
Chicken Salad Croissant sandwiches filled with creamy chicken salad A simple, fresh meal perfect for lunches, picnics, or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups red seedless grapes halved
- 4 celery sticks chopped
- ½ red onion chopped
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 croissants sliced
Instructions
- Add the shredded chicken, grapes, celery, red onion, and walnuts to a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and fold gently until the filling is fully coated.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes so the flavors settle and the mixture firms up.
- Slice each croissant, spoon in a generous amount of chicken salad, and press lightly to close.
- Serve right away, or keep the filling chilled and assemble the sandwiches when ready to eat.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken or crockpot-shredded chicken both work well and save time.
- Add the walnuts right before assembling if you prefer the crunch to stay extra firm.
- Regular or mini croissants both work depending on the occasion.
- Add a leaf of lettuce inside the croissant to prevent sogginess for packed lunches.
- Store the filling for up to three days. Assemble sandwiches only when serving so the croissants stay flaky.
