Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and the dry seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper). Stir until the chicken is evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Add Texture and Flavor: Fold in the chopped celery, red onion, dried cranberries (or grapes), and nuts (if using). Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed—add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
Assemble the Croissant Sandwiches: Slice the croissants in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place a generous amount of the chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant.
Add Fresh Veggies: Layer a few lettuce leaves, cucumber slices, and a tomato slice (if using) on top of the chicken salad for added freshness and crunch.
Serve: Place the top half of the croissant on top, gently pressing down to hold the sandwich together. Serve immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap for a portable lunch or picnic option.
Tips for the Best Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches
Use Good-Quality Croissants: Fresh, buttery croissants are essential for the perfect sandwich. If you can, buy them from a bakery for that fresh-baked taste. If you’re using store-bought croissants, heat them briefly in the oven to crisp them up before assembling.
