Ingredients

  • 3-4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ribs celery diced
  • ½ cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • ½ tbsp Lawrey's seasoned salt
  • butter lettuce leaves
  • 1 dozen mini croissants

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, celery, parsley, and Lawry’s seasoned salt until well combined.
  • Slice the croissants in half, leaving one side attached. Add 2–3 pieces of lettuce inside each, then spoon in the chicken salad filling.
  • Arrange on a serving tray and enjoy immediately, or chill until ready to serve. These pair beautifully with fresh fruit and a cold drink for a simple but elevated lunch.

Notes

  • If mini croissants aren’t available, six regular ones work just as well—simply cut in half before serving.
  • For extra flavor, spread a little mayonnaise or butter on the bottom half before adding lettuce and filling (a trick from my South African roots!).
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the fridge—just assemble right before serving to avoid sogginess.
