Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 stalks celery
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 4 pieces low-carb croissants
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let them rest before dicing into small cubes.
While the chicken is resting, dice the celery stalks and red onion finely.
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix until well combined.
Add the diced chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until the chicken is fully coated. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
To assemble the sandwiches, slice each low-carb croissant in half lengthwise. Place a leaf of romaine lettuce on the bottom layer of the croissant.
Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture over the lettuce, and place the top half of the croissant over the salad.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining croissants.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb chicken salad croissant sandwiches.
