A quick and easy cozy lunch recipe featuring creamy chicken salad with grapes and toasted almonds served on flaky buttery croissants. Perfect for a satisfying yet light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large croissants, preferably buttery and flaky

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken by shredding or chopping into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Finely chop celery and parsley; halve the grapes.
  3. Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant, then let cool (optional).
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add chicken, celery, grapes, parsley, and toasted almonds to the dressing. Gently fold to combine, keeping grapes mostly intact.
  6. Warm croissants in a toaster oven or regular oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes if desired.
  7. Slice croissants horizontally without cutting all the way through.
  8. Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad inside each croissant and press lightly.
  9. Serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate if serving later.

Notes

Do not overmix the salad to keep grapes intact and celery crunchy. Toast almonds yourself for best flavor. Assemble sandwiches just before serving to avoid soggy croissants. For gluten-free, use gluten-free croissants or lettuce wraps. For dairy-free, substitute mayo and yogurt with vegan alternatives.
