Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Salad

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1 rib celery, diced
  • ½ cup halved grapes
  • ¼ cup diced red onion

For Assembling

  • 4 croissants
  • Butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, red wine vinegar, and chopped dill until smooth and well combined, forming the flavorful base for the chicken salad.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, diced celery, halved grapes, and diced red onion to the dressing. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated but the salad retains some texture and crunch.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Scoop a generous portion of the chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant, then top with fresh butter lettuce leaves. Place the croissant tops on and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken from a rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
  • Grapes add natural sweetness and a juicy burst; seedless grapes are preferred.
  • Celery provides a fresh crunch complementing the creamy texture.
  • Butter lettuce adds a mild flavor and crispness that balances the sandwich.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
