Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Dill pickles, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 6 Almond flour croissants or low-carb croissant alternatives

- 1 Avocado, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into small chunks.
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard. Stir to mix well.
Add the chopped celery, dill pickles, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice into the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Fold in the shredded or chopped chicken and mix until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture.
Bake or heat the almond flour croissants or low-carb croissant alternatives as directed on their package.
Slice the croissants open, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Layer leafy greens and avocado slices on the bottom half of each croissant.
Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad mixture onto the greens and avocado.
Close the croissants and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy low-carb chicken salad croissants!
