Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), celery, red onion (if using), fresh dill, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice.
2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the chicken is coated evenly.
3. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each and adjust as needed.
4. Gently open each croissant and spoon a generous amount of chicken salad into the center.
5. If desired, add lettuce leaves, tomato slices, or avocado slices for extra freshness and texture.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly delicious chicken salad croissant!
Short Tips:
* For extra flavor, roast your own chicken breasts with herbs before shredding.
* Chill the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
* Experiment with different add-ins like grapes, walnuts, or thinly sliced apples for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
* To prevent your croissants from getting soggy, assemble them just before serving.
* Leftover chicken salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
