Ingredients
12 mini croissants
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
½ cup red grapes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lettuce leaves or spinach (optional, for layering)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, grapes, and parsley.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
Slice the mini croissants in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Line the bottom half of each croissant with a small lettuce leaf or a few spinach leaves, if using.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture into each croissant.
Gently press the top half of the croissant over the filling.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
You can swap grapes for dried cranberries for a tangy twist.
Add chopped walnuts or sliced almonds for extra crunch.
These can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the fridge—just hold off on adding the lettuce until serving for the best texture.
