Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 (medium, diced) Granny Smith apple
- 6 tablespoons (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 package (8 pieces) Croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 (large, for egg wash) Egg
- 1 teaspoon Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced apple, cream cheese, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Roll out the croissant dough on a clean work surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and apple mixture onto the wide end of each triangle of dough.
Starting at the wide end, carefully roll up each croissant, tucking the filling inside as you go. Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash.
Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
