Description

These Mini Chicken Salad Croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch option that combines tender shredded rotisserie chicken with creamy mayonnaise, crunchy celery, and fresh parsley, all seasoned perfectly with Lawry's seasoned salt. Served on buttery mini croissants with crisp butter lettuce, they are perfect for quick gatherings or a light meal.


Ingredients

Chicken Salad Filling

  • 3-4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ribs celery, diced
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • ½ tbsp Lawry's seasoned salt

Assembly

  • Butter lettuce leaves
  • 1 dozen mini croissants


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, mayonnaise, diced celery, roughly chopped parsley, and Lawry's seasoned salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the salad is creamy and seasoned evenly.
  2. Prepare the Croissants: Carefully slice each mini croissant in half horizontally, leaving one side still attached for easy filling.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place 2 to 3 pieces of fresh butter lettuce inside each croissant, then spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad filling into each croissant, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
  4. Serve or Chill: Arrange the stuffed croissants on a serving tray. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. These sandwiches pair wonderfully with fresh fruit and a cold beverage for a simple yet elegant lunch.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a mix of both.
  • Make sure the croissants are fresh for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can prepare the chicken salad a few hours ahead and refrigerate to let flavors meld.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the chicken salad can add brightness and freshness.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or cook and shred your own chicken breast if preferred.
