Tips:

  • Always refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the chicken to firm up.
  • If you are using a rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the skin and bones before shredding the chicken.
  • To make the chicken salad ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, just bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes before assembling the croissants.
  • For a healthier version of this salad, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • If you don't have any croissants on hand, you can use other types of bread, such as French bread, sourdough, or even pita bread.

Conclusion:

Cherry chicken salad croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or just a quick meal at home. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal in no time.
