Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To prepare the croissant dough, combine almond flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
Quickly mix the melted cheese mixture with the almond flour mixture, then add the egg and knead until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape them into croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
While the croissants bake, combine shredded chicken, celery, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Slice each warm almond flour croissant horizontally and fill with a generous portion of the chicken salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chicken Salad Croissant.
