Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 medium Celery stalks
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Croissants
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
While the chicken is baking, chop the celery stalks and green onions into small pieces. Halve the red grapes, and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into small bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or chopped chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, and diced green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Place two romaine lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each croissant.
Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto the lettuce, then place the top half of the croissant over the chicken salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat chicken salad croissants!
