Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 3 tablespoons mango chutney
  • ½ cup (50g) celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large butter croissants

Instructions

  1. Shred or chop 2 cups (300g) of cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Finely dice ½ cup (50g) celery and 2 tablespoons red onion. Chop 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ⅓ cup (80ml) mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons (30ml) Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 3 tablespoons mango chutney, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the chicken, celery, onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until the chicken is evenly coated.
  5. Slice croissants in half horizontally and warm them in a toaster oven or skillet for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted (optional).
  6. Spoon a generous amount of the curry chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant. Add a small dollop of extra mango chutney if desired. Top with the croissant lid.
  7. Serve immediately while croissants are flaky and salad is fresh.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken salad to avoid mushiness. Toast croissants to prevent sogginess and add crunch. The salad can be made up to 24 hours ahead but keep croissants separate until serving. Adjust curry powder to taste. For gluten-free, substitute croissants with gluten-free bread; for dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and dairy-free mayo.
