Mini Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches
Mini Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches are a delightful combination of flaky, buttery
croissants filled with a creamy chicken salad that’s bursting with texture and flavor.
Each bite delivers the crunch of fresh celery, the tang of Dijon mustard, and the
tenderness of perfectly shredded chicken. These mini sandwiches are ideal for brunches,
picnics, party platters, holiday gatherings, or quick lunches. They come together fast
— but taste like you spent all afternoon preparing them.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (shredded)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 mini croissants (or regular croissants sliced smaller)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
Boil or poach the chicken breasts for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked. Let cool,
then shred into small pieces. - Prepare the Dressing:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper
until smooth. - Combine Everything:
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and green onions to the bowl. Mix until
all ingredients are evenly coated and creamy. - Assemble the Sandwiches:
Slice each croissant horizontally. Spoon a generous portion of chicken salad onto
the bottom half, then top with the other half of the croissant. - Serve:
Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to
2 days.
