Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 4 pieces Gluten-free croissants
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 0.5 cup Red grape
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Begin by shredding the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded chicken into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery stalk and slice the grapes in half. Add both to the mixing bowl with the chicken.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Mix everything together until the chicken and other ingredients are well coated.
Thinly slice the green onions and fold them gently into the chicken salad mixture.
Split the gluten-free croissants horizontally to open them for filling.
Place a lettuce leaf inside each croissant. Then, generously fill each croissant with the prepared chicken salad.
Serve immediately, or chill the chicken salad for 30 minutes before assembling for a colder, refreshing variant.
