Ingredients

Scale

For the 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 Serving

  • 4 croissants
  • Butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, red wine vinegar, and chopped dill until fully combined, creating a creamy and tangy dressing base.
  2. Combine the salad ingredients: Add the chopped or shredded cooked chicken, diced celery, halved grapes, and diced red onion to the bowl with the dressing. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Prepare the sandwiches: Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Spoon generous portions of the chicken salad onto the bottom halves of the croissants.
  4. Add lettuce and assemble: Place butter lettuce leaves on top of the chicken salad, then cap with the top halves of the croissants to form the sandwiches. Serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a light mayonnaise.
  • Chicken can be freshly cooked, rotisserie, or leftover for convenience.
  • Grapes add a sweet contrast, but you could also use diced apples or dried cranberries.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on preference.
  • These sandwiches are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
