JEFF'S FAMOUS CHICKEN SALAD CROISSANT



Jeff's Famous Chicken Salad Croissant image

Summer may be all about lighter recipes, but that doesn't have to mean light on flavor! I made this recipe at my first job and fell in love with the combination of the buttery flakiness of a toasted croissant with a creamy filling that makes it a perfect comfort food for the warmer seasons. I love the way the two textures combine with summer ripe Roma tomatoes, hot cherry pepper relish and a balsamic glaze to create serious #sandwichgoals.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6- to 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 ribs celery, diced
2 scallions, white and pale green parts only, sliced thin
1/4 cup dried cherries
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
Romaine lettuce leaves, for serving
4 fresh croissants, sliced and lightly toasted, cut-side up, in the broiler
Sliced Roma tomatoes, for serving
Hot cherry pepper relish or giardiniera, for serving
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or pot, stir 1 tablespoon salt into 6 cups cold water. Add the chicken and heat over medium heat until the water hits a temperature of 170 degrees F. Take the pot off the heat, cover, and let the chicken sit in the warm water until its internal temperature hits 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to paper towels to dry. Once cool enough to handle, pull the chicken apart with your hands or forks until shredded but still chunky.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the celery, scallions, cherries, mustard, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Let this mixture sit for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour to extract all that flavor. Add the mayo and mix until incorporated. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Add the shredded chicken and walnuts to the mayo mixture. Adjust the seasonings. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving, overnight preferred.
  • Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom half of a croissant followed by a scoop of chicken salad, one or two tomato slices, a spoonful of hot cherry pepper relish or giardiniera and a little drizzle of balsamic glaze. Close the top of the croissant. Assemble 3 more sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and eat!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For the best flavor, use cooked chicken that is still slightly moist. Rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from a roasted or grilled chicken are both great options.
  • Don't overmix the salad. Overmixing can make the salad tough and dry. Mix the ingredients gently until just combined.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your salad. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients whenever possible.
  • Season the salad to taste. The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Use a variety of textures. A combination of crunchy and soft textures will make your salad more interesting to eat. Add some chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy vegetables to your salad for a bit of crunch.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Chicken salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, let the salad come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken salad croissants a try!
