Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Red grapes, halved
- 0.25 cup Unsalted slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Croissants
Instructions
Begin by shredding or dicing the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard. Mix these well until you have a smooth dressing base.
Add the finely chopped celery, halved red grapes, and unsalted slivered almonds to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the fresh dill and black pepper, and then add the lemon juice to the mixture. Stir all the ingredients together until evenly coated with the yogurt-mustard dressing.
Gently fold in the shredded or diced chicken pieces into the salad mixture, ensuring even distribution of all ingredients.
Cut the croissants in half horizontally to create a top and bottom part.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each croissant and scoop a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture on top of the lettuce.
Top each sandwich with the other half of the croissant.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate until serving.
