These chicken salad croissants are one of my favorite go-to meals when I want something simple, fresh, and a little elevated. They’re perfect for lunch on the patio, a light dinner, or even serving to friends when you want something that feels special without a lot of effort.

Notes & Variations
I love to spread the chicken salad on a small croissant with a bit of lettuce. You can also enjoy on bread as a sandwich or directly on a bed of lettuce.
