Upgrade this classic luncheon staple for springtime affairs with mini croissants in lieu of traditional sandwich bread and the tasty addition of arugula, basil, and chives to the chicken salad.
Herbed Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely chopped rotisserie chicken (white meat only)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ranch dressing powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh arugula
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 10 mini croissants, cut in half lengthwise*
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together chicken, mayonnaise, olive oil, ranch dressing powder, and salt. Gently stir in arugula, basil, and chives.
- • Divide mixture evenly (approximately ¼ cup each) among croissants.
- *We used Trader Joe’s Frozen Miniature Croissants and baked them according to package instructions.
Notes
MAKE-AHEAD TIP: Chicken salad can be made without the arugula, basil, and chives a day in advance, covered, and refrigerated. Approximately an hour before serving, stir in arugula and herbs.
