Ingredients
For the Chicken Salad:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
- 1/3 cup red grapes halved

For Assembly:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- If you haven’t already, cook your chicken breast until tender. Let it cool completely, then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add the chicken, celery, grapes, red onion, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill the Mixture
- Cover and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 20 minutes. This helps the flavors blend beautifully.
Step 5: Prepare Croissants
- Slice the croissants in half horizontally. If you like, lightly toast them for a bit of crispness.
Step 6: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Add lettuce and tomato if using, then spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant. Place the top half over the filling.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
